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 tall storage cabinet traditionally used to store household linens, sheets, and folded garments, typically featuring sliding trays or shelves behind upper doors and drawers in the base section.

Victorian furniture makers commonly utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, and satin birch, often featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, solid timber panels, and turned wooden knobs.

Authentic pieces display period construction techniques including hand-dovetailed drawer boxes, secondary timbers on drawer linings, traditional wax or shellac finishes, and characteristic maker stamps or brass hardware.

This substantial furniture piece serves as a focal statement in a bedroom or hallway, offering practical vertical storage while adding historical texture and rich timber warmth to contemporary minimalist spaces.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying a traditional beeswax polish to nourish the wood grain.
