Regency Mahogany Four Door Breakfront Wardrobe

An impressive late Regency/William IV flame mahogany breakfront wardrobe of super quality and dating to circa 1830. It features a tall arched centre section with turned columns and scrolling mouldings to full length arched panelled doors flanked by a further pair of arched panelled doors and all standing on a plinth base. With a decorative hand carved floral motif to the centre of the moulded cornice, the centre doors open to reveal a short hanging or hat space above five long graduated drawers with brass handles, the side section each provide full length hanging spaces. With brass catches and working locks and keys.

Super original colour and patina and although not signed the quality would suggest a maker such as Gillows of Lancaster. There are signs of age that should be expected for a piece of this age including some filling to veneer chips on side faces, some marks from the doors opening and chips to the bottoms of the columns and a loss of moulding to the bottom of the centre door. The interior is fitted with brass hooks but we can replace these with a hanging rail to the side sections if required, the lining fabric is worn but we can also replace at cost of fabric.

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.
