The clean, architectural form is defined by a pair of full-height doors, allowing the exceptional figuring of the maple to take centre stage. The warm golden surface displays the distinctive swirling and rippled grain characteristic of birdseye maple, giving the otherwise restrained design considerable visual depth. The doors are punctuated by a pair of fabulous oversized cone-shaped phenolic handles, providing a bold geometric contrast to the highly figured timber and reinforcing the wardrobe's unmistakable Art Deco character. The wardrobe stands on a separate base, as shown, and has been professionally re-polished, bringing out the richness, colour and natural figuring of the wood while preserving its period character. An elegant and highly decorative piece of 1930s British furniture, combining luxurious materials with the streamlined simplicity of the Art Deco period.
