DESCRIPTION

A handsome George III bowfront mahogany wardrobe with beautifully figured oval panels and substantial proportions, dating from around 1800 and made in the manner of Gillows of Lancaster.

The wardrobe features a finely detailed dentil-moulded cornice above a pair of ebony-strung panelled doors with striking oval figured mahogany panels. The doors open to reveal a generous hanging interior fitted with a later brass hanging rail, while the base incorporates two deep drawers providing useful additional storage.

 

The elegant bowfront form, quality mahogany veneers and understated ebony stringing give the piece a refined architectural presence, making it equally suitable for a period home or a more contemporary interior.

 

A substantial and practical Georgian wardrobe offering excellent storage with classic early nineteenth-century design.

CONDITION

This wardrobe presents well and remains structurally sound, with the honest wear expected of a Georgian piece over 200 years old.

The mahogany has developed an attractive deep colour and mellow patina, with marks, knocks and scratches consistent with age and use. The doors open and close well, enclosing a hanging interior fitted with a later brass hanging rail. The two lower drawers run smoothly and provide useful storage.

 

Overall, this is an impressive and highly practical Georgian wardrobe combining elegant proportions with everyday usability.
