We are delighted to offer for sale this magnificent and highly collectible Victorian pine governess cupboard for linen or pots. A very charming and highly collectible piece, it is one of the largest examples seen, providing ample storage capacity both above and below, embodying the style of English country houses. Deeply cleaned, hand-waxed, and polished from top to bottom, it is very heavy, solid, and stable, with signs of wear and patina due to age as expected for a rustic antique piece. Dimensions taken at the widest point: Height: 194 cm, Width: 163 cm, Depth: 55 cm. Please refer to the detailed photos for the condition. The natural patina is present, particularly on the vintage leather seats, which show creasing and wear; an annual waxing is recommended to prevent moisture loss and to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, which dries out and discolours the leather.
