Late Victorian Burr Walnut and Oak Breakfront Compactum Wardrobe - A substantial Late Victorian breakfront compactum wardrobe, circa 1890, expertly constructed from a light-toned oak with striking burr walnut veneer panels to the drawer fronts and cupboard doors. This architectural piece features a central section comprising a twin-door cupboard over a bank of five graduated drawers. The cupboard doors are intricately carved with recessed panels depicting foliate scrolls and classical urn motifs. This central unit is flanked by two full-length bevelled mirror doors which open to reveal generous hanging space, alongside further side drawer units. The entire structure is surmounted by a decorative swan-neck pediment with a central turned and carved finial. The wardrobe is fitted with its original ornate brass hardware, including decorative escutcheons and drop handles. The piece reflects the Renaissance Revival influence of the late 19th century, designed for both aesthetic impact and functional utility. Dimensions: H 238cm x W 215cm x D 62cm.
