Important Burr & Burl Gothic Antique Wardrobe Oversized Polished Brass Fittings

  

Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this very rare and important, Museum quality, Gothic style Antique Burr & Burl Walnut wardrobe with oversized, polished brass fittings. This piece is part of a suite, I have the matching dressing table listed under my other items. I have never seen another wardrobe like this in my career, it has a Gothic castle look and feel to it, the timber panels are way older than the actual wardrobe, I think this was made in the Victorian era by repurposing something that was very old and making something newer and usable, the fixtures are fittings all look to be mid-17. Inside you have a large campaign chest of drawers, folded linen shelves which slide out, a free hanging section and a small pot cupboard to the base which can be used for shoes eta. This piece breaks down into a few sections for ease of transport, you have a top pediment, base plinth and then the main body splits into two pieces.

Condition wise we have cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom, there will be age and use related patina marks here and there, most likely some small losses, this piece isn't designed to look new and contemporary, its designed to look 300-400 years old and full of charm and charisma. Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask.
