Scottish William IV Figured Elm Two Door Fitted Wardrobe, C.1830

A very unusual Scottish William IV figured elm two door wardrobe dating to circa 1830. With a moulded cornice above a front displaying narrow ‘hollow-end’ panelled edges with flower and dot motifs to the top and flanking two fielded panelled doors with re-entrant corners and further arched moulding within. The interior is well fitted with a hat shelf, sliding tray, drawers, full length hanging space and the original, beautifully ornate, gilt and ceramic hooks. Stands on a plinth base.

Attractive, light and exceptionally well figured elm veneers to the front with original brass lock incorporating the turned wooden knob handle and ‘Horne Patent’ hinges. The interior still has the original blue-green moire/watered lining and unusually all the hanging hooks are intact, a brass hanging rail has been added for convenience. In good condition with minor marks consistent with age including some dark marks to the sides, the lining is marked and ready for replacing.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
