The base section comprises a two-over-two drawer configuration, with further plentiful storage space. The drawer sides are oak lined and hand-dovetailed, therefore constructed with the finest materials, in the original manner.

It has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. This Victorian linen press is an excellent investment but is also very practical for storage and would look superb in a variety of rooms, especially the bedroom. This item would certainly grace any home.
