Early 19th Century British Mahogany Gothic Revival Wardrobe
-
Description
Beautiful early 19th century, circa 1830, William IV Period, mahogany Regency Gothic Revival wardrobe or armoire or linen press with central mirrored tabernacle and 5-drawer chest of drawers. The best way to describe it is as a recessed breakfront wardrobe.
The piece consists of 2-side closets for hanging clothes or vestments with single large drawer at floor level. The exterior of the side closets is beautiful flamed Cuban mahogany with side pillars ending with acanthus leaf cornices. The front is framed with a simple domed shaped frieze that simulates a Gothic window or portal.
The pelmet is likewise made of flamed mahogany but in a much simpler form, indicative of the William IV period style.
The central section consists of a 2-door mirrored press with classic Gothic Revival shape and form to simulate a tabernacle. When opened, the tabernacle has one shelf for storage of personal belongings.
Beneath the tabernacle are 5 drawers. The first one is smaller and they get larger as they graduate downwards. Again, these are veneered in gorgeous Cuban flamed and butterflied mahogany, but they contrast beautifully with the rest of the piece as they do not have the deep red color of the rest of the piece.
The entire piece rests on a solid base with brass castors for easy movement. -
