The outer compartments provide hanging areas, while the central section incorporates fitted shelves above a practical arrangement of drawers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mixture of hanging, folded storage and drawers makes the wardrobe considerably more usable than many large antique wardrobes of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe repeated urn and foliate motifs across the doors and drawers are particularly effective, giving the piece a strong decorative rhythm from top to bottom. The brass ring handles provide an attractive period-style finishing detail without distracting from the inlaid surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge Edwardian wardrobes of this scale and decorative quality are increasingly difficult to source, particularly examples retaining such an extensive coordinated scheme of inlay. Its combination of craftsmanship, imposing proportions and practical storage makes it an excellent statement piece for a principal bedroom, dressing room or period interior.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hawkins Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64580913168761,"sku":null,"price":3950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/6633\/8937\/files\/DSCF8093.jpg?v=1789474042","url":"https:\/\/hawkinsantiques.com\/products\/antique-edwardian-mahogany-inlaid-compactum-wardrobe-c1900","provider":"Hawkins Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
