Victorian Oak Chest Of Drawers / Linen Press, Dated Oxford 1861
An exceptional mid-Victorian chest or linen press, in oak. Combining storage and craftsmanship in a thoughtful, architectural form. The piece features two short drawers over a long drawer, above a cupboard enclosing four linen press drawers and a concealed compartment.
The cupboard doors are tri-panelled and carved with acanthus motifs, while the drawers retain their original brass pulls and tramline detailing. Construction throughout is of notably high quality, with pinned mortice-and-tenon panelling.
Of particular interest, the top right drawer side appears to be signed and dated by the maker — Edward [surname illegible], Oxford, 1861 — a rare and evocative survival.
Condition Report
Excellent solid condition. One cupboard door has later replacement hinges following an historic mounting failure; visible on close inspection from the right side only. Minor surface wear consistent with age. Structurally sound and fully usable.
The photographs form part of the condition report, so please review them carefully. Further images or a video viewing can be provided on request. Viewings are welcome at our Southampton unit, strictly by appointment.
