Anglo Indian Satinwood Wardrobe
Anglo Indian Satinwood Wardrobe
83020
An Anglo-Indian satinwood and ebony Wardrobe.
The Wardrobe was likely made in Ceylon and dismantles in the same manner as a Channel Islands Wardrobe, on which its design is based. The back is made up of two panelled boards which are fixed to the sides by screws. The sides are fitted to the base and cornice with tenon and mortice joints allowing each to be removed from each other. The doors are fitted to the base and cornice on brass lugs allowing them to open and close and be easily removed once the cornice is lifted off. The two replaced shelves simply lift up and out.
The doors are panelled and the construction for most of the Wardrobe is pegged. The carved relief paterae to the centre of the base is a subtle addition of decoration.
This is a very good-looking piece of furniture. The use of ebony for the cornice, base moulding, door edge and inlay to the door panels etc. contrasts beautifully against the satinwood. Early to mid 19th Century.
