Description:
Here is a pretty antique English Art Deco burr walnut serpentine shaped wardrobe, circa 1930, in excellent original condition.

The right-hand door retains its original working lock and key. Inside, the wardrobe features a full-width compartment to the top, below which are a hanging space with the original hanging rails to the left, and a smaller hanging section the right, under which is a small storage shelf / cupboard. The wardrobe sits on its original moulded plinth feet and the back features solid backboards.
The wardrobe can be dismantled into two sections (if necessary) if access into the house is a problem. The wardrobe is designed to split vertically down the centre. However, it is currently screwed together as one piece.

This wardrobe features a mellow walnut colour. As it boasts the original polish, It has a lovely mellow colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
