19th Century Mahogany Linen Press with Blind Fretwork Cornice and Four Drawers
£1750.00
A handsome 19th Century mahogany linen press of excellent proportions, standing on bracket feet and retaining a beautifully detailed moulded cornice above an attractive blind fretwork frieze.
The upper section is enclosed by a pair of finely figured mahogany panelled doors, displaying particularly attractive grain patterns. Opening to reveal a practical fitted interior with a series of traditional sliding linen trays, offering excellent storage for linens, clothing or household items.
The lower section comprises four generous drawers fitted with elegant brass swan-neck handles, providing additional storage and complementing the rich mahogany colour throughout.
This piece benefits from a warm, deep mahogany patina acquired over many years and would make an impressive addition to both traditional and contemporary interiors. The decorative fretwork cornice, beautifully figured mahogany veneers and elegant proportions make this an especially attractive example of a traditional English linen press.
