Description

A fantastic antique Victorian satin birch linen press by H. Mawer & Stephenson Ltd. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1850-1860 period.

The quality is outstanding, this is very well made and is extremely useful. There is lots of storage space, the deep drawers all run smoothly and have fine hand cut dovetailed joints. The upper cabinet contains four beautifully crafted mahogany tray sliding shelves. This sits on a plinth base and has a beautifully moulded cornice. The whole thing breaks down into three pieces for ease of transport.

We have recently had this re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age. There are various small bumps and marks here and there under the polish, adding to the overall character. The satin birch has a gorgeous colour tone and patina.

FAQs

A linen press is a traditional tall furniture piece featuring upper cupboards typically fitted with sliding trays or shelves for storing folded household linen, paired with lower drawers for garments.

These pieces were constructed using solid timber frames, often veneered in figured exotic woods like satin birch or mahogany, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers and traditional mortise and tenon joinery.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut dovetail drawer construction, secondary softwoods inside, period-appropriate brass or wooden turning hardware, and natural timber ageing such as oxidisation and minor surface wear.

An antique linen press can serve as a functional statement storage piece in a bedroom or hallway, contrasting against neutral modern walls to highlight the figured grain of the wood.

Preserve the timber by maintaining stable room humidity away from direct heat sources, cleaning with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying natural beeswax to nourish the wood finish.
