Description:
Here is a pretty antique English Art Deco burr walnut two-door single-piece wardrobe, circa 1930, with small proportions, in good original condition. Comprising of an elegant Art Deco double moulded frame, the 2-door wardrobe boasts an exterior of stunning mirror matched burr walnut veneers to the front and figured walnut to the sides, with a cross banded frame. The doors also boast their original vertical wooden handles. The left-hand door retains its original sliding bolts, top and bottom, to secure the door when closed. 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 telescopic hanging to the left and three vertically-arranged compartments to the right. The inside of the left-hand door also includes a tie rack. At the bottom of the wardrobe is a single dovetailed drawer, which retains the original vertical wooden handles. The interior of the drawer also boasts quarter beading (a sign of quality). The wardrobe sits on its original moulded plinth feet and the back features solid backboards.
This is a two-piece wardrobe, which enables easy access into the house and bedroom. Because of its narrow width, it is ideal for compact rooms, as it consumes very little space.
The item would be at home in any traditional or contemporary setting and consumes very little space. This piece boasts classic Art Deco styling in the overall design of the curved moulded frame, corners, clean lines to the tops, the handles and the feet.
This two door wardrobe features a mellow walnut colour. It has a lovely colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
