Czech Art Nouveau wardrobe

This antique Czech wardrobe dates from the early 20th century, probably from 1900-1910. Its clean lines and stylised floral decoration are characteristic of Central European Art Nouveau, marked by the influence of the Vienna Secession. It is matched with the separately available sideboard. Materials: pine for the structure, pear wood door panels, burl veneer, mother-of-pearl and exotic wood inlays, brass lock entries and handles. Features: this Art Nouveau wardrobe opens with two large doors to reveal a spacious interior with a hanging rail and a shelf. A wide drawer occupies the entire lower section. Each door is decorated with two mirrored inlay cartouches, combining geometric shapes, stylised foliage, and mother-of-pearl inlays. This vocabulary, both geometric and botanical, is that of the Secession. The pronounced grain of the pine on the uprights gives the piece its warmth. Renovation: the wardrobe has been entirely hand-sanded to restore the natural colour of the wood. It was then washed and protected with wax. Condition: the wardrobe is solid, stable on its feet, and in good condition. It should be noted that the lock is no longer functional and the right door is slightly warped (visible in the photo), which does not hinder its proper closure. Dimensions: L105 X D49.5 X H176. Interior: L100 X D41 X H146. Hanging rail height: 109. Shelf height: 49. Drawer: L94 X H13.5. A unique Czech Art Nouveau wardrobe, representative of the decorative arts of Central Europe from the early 20th century and remarkable for its inlay and mother-of-pearl decoration. With its compact dimensions, it easily fits into a bedroom, hallway, or small space.
