With our compliments we take the the utmost pleasure in offering you this remarkably high quality 19th Century English Georgian Wardrobe made from highly figured Rosewood over solid Yew Wood. We were struck by several things when examining this piece. Aside from its fine condition and aesthetically pleasing appeal this is an amazingly well crafted piece with mortise and through & tenon construction. Its back panels are constructed out of two solid pieces of chamfered Yew Wood that is completely finished. It has twin Tombstone doors, signed "D&B" locks with key, nickle engraved pulls possessing incredible beauty, a fully shaped base skirt and super case moldings. Its interior is fitted with two drawers and three shelves. Two can be removed if your storage requires such. It was refinished and restored about 30 years ago and comes from a lovely Worcester County Massachusetts estate. It is in a highly lacquered finish. All its shelves and drawers are made entirely from solid highly figured and finished Yew wood. As we were moving this we were alerted to its amazing characteristics by its substantial weight. This is not one of the English Container Furniture pieces that flooded the American markets in the 1970's. This is an ultra choice piece of the very finest 19th Century English Cabinetry making disciplines that descended in a multi generational Massachusetts family. It measures 43" wide, 22 1/2" wide (deep) and stands 61" tall.
