Comprising of an elegant Art Deco single moulded frame, the wardrobe boasts an exterior of stunning mirror matched figured walnut veneers to the door and walnut veneer either side of the door in a stepped mosaic design. The wardrobe also boasts lovely walnut mirror matched sides. Boasting a three-sided front, the wardrobe displays a stunning walnut top with ebony moulding. Below, the centre of the front boasts a door with stunning mirror matched figured walnut veneer and ebony moulding to the perimeter; the door retains its original working lock and working key, as well as the original white Bakelite handle. The door opens to reveal an open compartment to the top, above a hanging space, fitted with two hanging rails – each with three sliding hooks – as well as two further hooks on the rear panel. The wardrobe sits on its original curved ebony plinth, and the back features solid backboards.
This is a single piece wardrobe and because of its narrow width, it is ideal for compact rooms, as it consumes very little space.
