How do I dismantle a large wardrobe?

Many large nineteenth-century wardrobes and presses were constructed with a modular knockdown design, using internal bolts or pegs to secure the cornice, base, and sides together. Carefully inspect the interior corners for concealed fixings and label each loose panel before separating the timber components to ensure safe transport.

What is the difference between a press and a wardrobe?

A traditional press contains internal sliding shelves or trays designed to store folded textiles and linen flat. A wardrobe is specifically dedicated to hanging garments on rails or pegs. Over time, many presses were converted into hanging wardrobes by removing the original trays.

How do I identify a Georgian wardrobe?

Georgian pieces typically feature solid proportions constructed from rich mahogany or oak, accented by understated bracket feet and classical dentil cornices. The joinery relies on hand-cut dovetails and pegged frames without modern mechanical fixings. Surface patination on these eighteenth-century items generally exhibits a deep, warm glow acquired through generations of polishing.
