Early 20th Century Black Lacquered Chinoiserie Triple Wardrobe

A stunning and high-quality example of early 20th-century furniture, this elegant triple wardrobe is a true celebration of the chinoiserie style, richly decorated and masterfully constructed. The entire surface is lavishly smothered in hand-painted chinoiserie scenes, rendered in fine gilt detail across a deep black lacquered background. The decoration is ornate, depicting idyllic oriental landscapes, serene figures, flora, fauna, and traditional architecture, all executed with remarkable precision. The paintwork shows minor, age-consistent wear, enhancing the wardrobe’s authentic period charm. A pair of full-length double doors opeN to reveal a generous hanging space, with a shelf above a brass hanging rail and hooks; and a single compartment fitted with a series of shelves and 2 drawers, providing practical and organised storage for folded clothing, accessories, or linens. Each door is framed and panelled, serving as a canvas for the flowing, continuous chinoiserie narrative that unites the piece. The subtle mouldings and tasteful proportions speak to the wardrobe’s high-quality construction and thoughtful design. Standing gracefully on shaped bracket feet, this wardrobe is both an artistic statement and a versatile, functional item of furniture. A fine and decorative storage piece, beautifully blending early 20th-century English craftsmanship with the timeless allure of the East. The wardrobe is transported in 4 pieces.
