Victorian Figured Walnut Single Mirrored Wardrobe, C.1870

A handsome Victorian figured walnut single wardrobe, dating from the second half of the 19th century, with particularly attractive colour and figuring. The detachable moulded cornice sits above a full-length mirrored door, framed in figured walnut and flanked by carved corbels. The door opens to a spacious hanging interior retaining its wooden hanging pegs and rail, with a useful deep drawer below. The wardrobe retains what appears to be its original silvered mirror plate, which has developed attractive age-related foxing and sparkle. The figured walnut veneers are particularly appealing, with a warm, mellow colour and good period patina.

A well-proportioned and practical Victorian wardrobe, narrow enough to work particularly well in a bedroom, dressing room or guest room.

Please note: although the cornice and mirrored door can be removed for transport, the main carcass does not dismantle. Buyers are therefore advised to check access, particularly staircases, turns and doorways, before purchasing.

CONDITION
Presented in good antique condition, commensurate with age and use. The walnut retains an attractive colour and figuring throughout, with various marks, knocks, scratches and minor veneer losses expected from over 150 years of use, including sections of veneer loss on the rear of the sides of the plinth. The wardrobe retains what appears to be its original silvered mirror plate, displaying attractive age-related foxing and sparkle. The door operates well and the wardrobe is solid, stable and ready for use.

Overall, a very presentable example retaining good colour, attractive figured veneers and plenty of period character.

As an antique or vintage piece, signs of age and use should be expected and are part of its character.
