A superb Victorian walnut compactum wardrobe dating from the late 19th century, combining hanging space, drawers and shelving within a beautifully proportioned and highly practical design.

Crafted in attractive walnut with decorative carved detailing, this elegant compactum features a full-length original bevelled mirror door, four graduated drawers, a large base drawer and a separate shelved cupboard section. The substantial moulded cornice and quality brass handles complete the period appearance.

The wardrobe section incorporates a particularly useful sliding upper hanging section, allowing easy access to the rail and coat hooks without having to reach deep into the wardrobe.

A wonderful example of Victorian craftsmanship offering excellent storage while retaining all the charm and character of a genuine antique piece.
