Large 17th Century Yew, Oak and Fruitwood Cupboard cupboard  press wardrobe %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
With a fantastic colour and in excellent original condition this large English oak, yew wood and fruitwood press cupboard was made by skilled hands in around 1680.

The two substantial doors with double fielded panels open on solid brass H hinges to reveal a capacious interior with 12 original well shaped pegs and a (later added) hanging rail.

The whole is very solid and robust, no movement or weakness. The upper case lifts off the bottom for transport. Some evidence of old woodworm -long since treated and dead - small marks, losses and knocks consistent with age and use.

Original backboards – huge slabs of oak – and all of the timbers hand azed to inner surfaces.

The lower case with three dummy drawers over two working drawers, each with later Georgian brass bail handles and substantial oak linings.

The press is peg jointed throughout and has developed this wonderful ripe melon colour over the last three hundred and fifty years.

The dummy drawers allow you to hang clothes at full length and the press is deep enough for modern coat hangers.

A handsome piece of early British furniture in very condition for age and with a beautiful colour developed naturally over centuries of care, wax and hands.


Dimensions are approximately:

69.25 inches high
56 inches wide (max)
21 inches deep (max)

Lower case from floor to waist moulding is 29 inches
Internal height of drawers is 6 inches
Internal hanging height is: 49 inches
Internal depth for hangers is: 18.5 inches

For metric please multiply by 2.5
I describe and photograph my pieces accurately and with the aim that on arrival each will exceed expectations.

I operate a full refund guarantee and am always happy to give free, honest and friendly advice.
