This antique English oak wardrobe comes from England and dates from the late Georgian period, around 1800–1820. The wardrobe is entirely made of solid oak and reflects the robust construction and functional design characteristic of early 19th-century English domestic furniture. The piece is constructed in two distinct parts, comprising an upper wardrobe and a lower chest of drawers. This traditional two-part construction allows for easier transport and installation while maintaining the original proportions of the wardrobe. The upper section features panelled doors that open to reveal interior shelves, ideal for storage or display. The lower section contains several drawers of varying sizes, traditionally used for linen or household storage. The wardrobe retains its original brass hardware, which remains intact and contributes to its authenticity. Inside, the wardrobe bears a historic original storage label from a moving and storage company based in Bradford, northern England. This label provides documented provenance and offers insight into the recorded history of the wardrobe's ownership and storage. With its warm, naturally aged patina developed over more than two centuries, the wardrobe exemplifies the solid craftsmanship and understated elegance of the Georgian period. It is perfectly suited as a storage wardrobe, linen press, or centrepiece in traditional or contemporary interiors.
