1950’s Gentleman's Armoire/Compactum Wardrobe in Farrow & Ball Off Black
Description:
A stunning 1950's lockable armoire / gentleman's wardrobe / tallboy by Astons of Wrexham with beautiful carvings on either side of the door. It’s a lovely and light piece which is easy to transport upstairs. Inside there is a hanging rail and shelves and externally it has the original stunning brass handle and lock escutcheon which I have cleaned and polished by hand. This elegant cabinet is well proportioned and is in very good order, with the original lock and key working. It has been carefully sanded and painted in Farrow and Ball's timeless and dramatic 'Off Black' Modern Eggshell and would be a stylish storage addition to a bedroom or landing. It is also available to purchase as part of a set, please see my other listings for details.
Condition:
This piece is in excellent condition with no damage to note apart from the minor nicks, dents and previous repairs which are to be expected with vintage and antique pieces and adds to their character. I have cleaned it thoroughly inside and out and oiled the teak interior so it is very clean and tidy. I don't just slap on a coat of chalk paint on my pieces and call them upcycled - each of my pieces undergoes a lengthy process of restoration and preparation before being painstakingly stripped, cleaned, restored, woodworm treated if there is any sign of historic woodworm, primed and undercoated before painting a minimum of five coats to ensure a high quality finish, and a protective lacquer where required for durability. My pieces aren't distressed or shabby chic; they will naturally distress over time with general wear and tear, like all furniture.
