FAQs

During the 17th century, freestanding wardrobes were uncommon; instead, clothes presses and large cupboards were used to store folded garments, linens, and textiles before hanging wardrobes became standard in later periods.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid English oak utilizing frame-and-panel construction, pegged joints, and hand-cut dovetails, often featuring iron HL hinges and wooden knobs.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural timber shrinkage, hand-tool marks, peg construction without modern metal screws, and deep patination accumulated over centuries of use.

Position the piece against a neutral wall to highlight its rich grain and sculptural form, allowing it to act as a grounding focal point in a contemporary bedroom or hallway.

Maintain stable humidity levels away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and periodically nourish the wood with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
