With a beautiful colour and naturally well developed patina, this early Georgian oak clothes press is very usable and substantial. The two upper doors with fielded arched wainscot panels over two small original fielded panel doors which open to reveal a vacant interior and original back boards with a double run of oak pegs (a hanging rail could easily be added if required). The left hand door with key and working lock, the right hand door with thumb turn. The doors are straight and without warps and close very smoothly.

A well proportioned, heavy and beautiful example, the top lifts off the base for transport, made by skilled hands in c. 1730 and of a practical small size.
