Description

Very handsome late 18th century English Georgian mahogany linen press with an architectural pediment cornice, original pull out linen slides and two short over two full width drawers below.

Wonderful colour throughout the linen press and offers great bedroom storage and an alternative to traditional wardrobes. The combination of the chest of drawers below the slides for further folded items, or it is easy to remove the slides and fit a hanging rail for you instead…happy to do this if you would rather.

This piece of furniture splits into three separate parts for ease of delivery and moving.

The linen slides are covered in a vintage fabric which is marked.

Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

FAQs

Dating from the 18th and early 19th centuries, linen presses were originally designed to store household linens flat under pressure to prevent creasing, later evolving to serve as bedroom wardrobes.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid mahogany or pine with fine veneers, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers and pegged mortise and tenon joinery on the main framework.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct characteristics such as hand-turned drawer linings, aged brass hardware, timber shrinkage consistent with age, and construction methods predating modern machine tools.

A substantial antique wooden cabinet acts as a focal point in a master bedroom or spacious hallway, grounding modern neutral decor with historical depth and rich texture.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and apply high-quality beeswax periodically to nourish the grain and preserve the original finish.
