Antique French Pine Housekeepers Cupboard/ Wardrobe C1860 -1870

Description

A lovely and really unusual antique pine housekeepers cupboard/wardrobe dated late 1800’s. It’s a great unit with a nice patina. It has a round hole in the middle of the door where a metal vent would have originally sat. The original ornate keyhole remains but there was no key when we bought the unit.
Inside it has numerous original side slats for shelving which you can see at the back of the 4th pic, it did not come with shelves so we had 4 made 20 years ago and fitted a rail for hanging garments, a modern latch closure was fitted at the same time.
The round feet have seen better days with very old signs of woodworm when we bought the unit 25 years ago, one foot is in situ but broken so they would either need to be replaced or removed completely so the unit sits on the floor. Measures 69” tall x 35 “ w x 19.5 “ d
It’s been much loved over the years but after a recent house move it no longer fits with the decor. Similar antique units on Etsy are fetching £650-£800.
Collection only ( I will be posting other Antique furniture items in the next few days)
