Waring & Gillow Lancaster, burr walnut inlaid wardrobe which is part of a suite. This piece is part of a bedroom set, I have in total a triple bank wardrobe, dressing table with trifold mirrors and pair of side chairs, a large bedside table and lastly the chest of drawers, this sale is for the piece mentioned above only, the others are listed under my other items This is as mentioned, the finest quality I have ever seen for this type of furniture, it truly is a master class of craftsmanship, when describing it, I honestly don’t know where to begin, it’s made in quarter cut walnut with a large ornate burr walnut panel to the top middle door, the inlay to base of this panel is in the form of curtain tassels. The legs are ornately carved and have silver gilt details, above is a band of marquetry inlay which goes from one side to the other and its all of flowers. The piece has the original Gillow of Lancaster metal plaque inside on top of the full length mirror, the locks are all stamped Waring & Gillows LTD Lancaster. The wardrobe splits into a few pieces for ease of transport This piece is one of a kind, I don’t imagine I will ever see another suite where it has been commissioned with absolute no expense spared, this is museum quality at its finest which is to say Gillow were basically showing off Condition wise we have deep cleaned hand condition waxed and hand polished it from top to bottom, there may be some age and use related patina marks here and there, mostly its in Fine order throughout.
