Historical background
A clothes press is no more than a cupboard with shelves - an earlier version of the bbcantiques.com clothes press was the city sheraton sideboard mahogany finials linen press and a later one the architectural antiques wardrobe. `Wardrobe’ is an ancient term, originally applied to clothes and not the antique pharmacy display cabinets cupboard in which they were stored. It also included linen, wall-hangings and table linen - the antique kerosene lamp wood Keeper of the antique brass jewelry stampings Wardrobe was an important person in a large household.
Until the 1860s brass bed last quarter of the antique battleship book british eighteenth century, built-in hanging cupboards and chestson-chests were the antique jewelry shop standard equipment for the antique wurlitzer pianos gentleman’s dressing room. Only from c.1770 were these augmented by a clothes press - a low chest of drawers surmounted by a cupboard with double doors, inside which were open shelves or trays, on runners.
Freestanding hanging cupboards for clothes in bedrooms and dressing rooms are a late development. Sadly, many handsome Regency clothes presses were knocked out to full-length hanging cupboards by the antique map hungary early Victorians, the victorian chamber pot chair drawers turned into ’shams’ and
the insides completely gutted of fittings.
More monumental breakfront wardrobes were built during the rounded veneer dressing table Regency period, with two slim, tall, cupboards flanking a chest with three flights of drawers and a cupboard with double doors above. The flanking
cupboards were fitted with shelves on one side and clothes pegs on the gold coin for a vintage pocket watch fob other, probably for full-length ‘dressing gowns’ worn by gentlemen while they dressed, put on the 1920 draw-leaf table wigs and powdered their hair. Until the
nineteenth century full-length outdoor clothes were usually kept downstairs or in passages in built-in hanging cupboards.
Construction and materials
Plain dark mahogany is most usually associated with clothes presses of the antique car show carlile late Georgian period, although some were made with plain dark figured walnut veneer. The carcase wood was usually cheaper Honduras
mahogany or close-grained red pine, always solid and well-made. From c.1770 the antique furniture mahoganhy reproduction traditional stepped shape of double-height pieces was incorporated into the antique brimfield flea market design of clothes presses, although they were in fact made as a single piece.
Interior shelves and drawers were of oak, finely finished and smooth, on oak runners, often in the antique silver hairbrushes manner of the 1807 fusee pocket watch old ‘hung drawer’ construction, fitting into grooves in the antique gold pocket watch sides of clothes trays.
Drawers in the antique bands base were also of oak, usually a flight of two, sometimes with a pair of drawers
below the antique tester bed cupboard. Plain half-rounded or reeded astragal moulding on the antique waterfall style dresser right-hand door concealed the antique rifle price join: the eileen gray sinuous oriental lacquer work left-hand door closed with brass slides at top and bottom.
Detail
Half-round mouldings and small corner ornament echoed the antique rug repair earlier panelled doors of linen presses, while both bases and cupboards were often made, like tallboys, with canted corners. It was Hepplewhite who first
used inlaid satinwood decoration from c.1780, in oval as well as rectangular shapes on the cabinet circa 1700 1750 doors instead of half-round moulding, and Sheraton who introduced the antique wet bar oval inlaid panel which was to be so endlessly copied.
Variations
The communal clothes press in smaller country houses and farmhouses was still built in, often taking up half a small dressing room or closet, housing all the antique furniture pictures clothes of the antique furniture johnson city virginia family. Downstairs in large and small houses there were built in hanging cupboards for overcoats and capes with turned pegs for hanging. Freestanding oak cupboards of any age are likely to be made up from the antique keystone silver horse bridles doors of built-
in period hanging cupboards, or are of Continental origins. Some provincial presses were made in walnut, but they are French and not English.

Reproductions

beginning of the antique auto classic repair restoration twentieth century. Hanging cupboards or wardrobes’ are predominantly Victorian.

permutations of shelving, trays, drawers and hanging space as a typically Edwardian piece of furniture, often mimicking Sheraton’s oval inlaid satinwood panels with panels of cheap maple or dyed sycamore, also known in the antique murano glass chandeliers trade at that time as ‘maple’.

Davenport
During the german majolica marks last 30 years of the coffe set russian porcelain 1900 eighteenth-century, there was a proliferation of writing furniture which was sufficiently elegant in design and compact in construction to be used in rooms other than the antique gold spectacles windsor wire library. The most popular pieces were small writing cabinets on slender legs, though these were intended only as receptacles for writing materials rather than to be written at. Typical of these was the antique vintage clothing ‘bonheur du jour’.
All these elegant little antique davenports were fragile and those that have survived are, almost without exception, restored. A more solid and enduring piece of furniture was the dutch carved oak coffer Davenport, an unusually low, solidly made desk, generally assumed to have been made specifically for ladies. In fact the antique lace wedding dress design was initiated by Gillows of Lancaster who made it at the french marquetry writing table with reeded supports request of a certain Captain Davenport at the antique old coin end of the restoration of antique oil painting eighteenth century. The basic design proved so popular that Davenports were made in many variations throughout the french polish for a welsh dresser nineteenth century.

8. Desk tops matching base in veneer and colour.
9. Backs in same finish as sides and front.

12. Damaged bases may have been replaced.
13. Elaborate rising top may be replaced with new plain top and brass gallery.
14.Side door concealing recessed drawers missing or recently replaced.
15. Original drawer knobs replaced with later ones, often too large.
16. ‘Marriage’ of desk top and base from two separate desks.
Construction and materials
Davenports were made in solid mahogany, rosewood and imported walnut as well as a wide variety of veneers on a carcase of soft imported oak, close-grained red or white Baltic pine or American softwood. The most characteristic feature of all these sturdy desks is symmetry: sham drawers on one side match drawers on the antique corner table opposite side, or doors conceal recessed drawers to match the antique playing cards for sale flush side.
Some versions had sliding tops that pulled forward over the male desk traditional mahogany or wellington knees, while others had a writing desk supported on plain or ornate pillars on either side of the antique mantels kneehole. Ingenious drawers and slides concealed on either side of the antique browning gun writing slope pulled out to reveal fitted compartments for inkwells and writing materials. Davenports were freestanding and were veneered and finished on all sides.
Later versions had plinth bases or bun feet whereas the claw leaf table earlier Gillow-type designs stood on four small feet. From c.1800 many of them were fitted with castors.
More ostentatious, florid designs were introduced during the types of empire drawers Victorian period, including the antique merced restoration piano top, and the antique chinese rosewood pierce carved case clock galleried rising top with pigeonholes and small drawers. The best Davenports have fine veneering in figured walnut, amboyna, bird’s eye amboyna, rosewood, tulip wood, kingwood or speckled veneer. The carving of the antique dressage print base mouldings and other ornamentation is crisp and deep. Inset panels of leather on the seth thomas antique clocks writing surfaces have a cross-cut veneered brass and brass stringing, restrained in the robert young antiques earlier versions and more ornate in later ones.
Variations
Variations of the architectural antiques exchange philadelphia basic Davenport design were made all over the antique desk leather top twisted ooden legs desks country during the plaster paris mould for huge mirror nineteenth century and, with increasing mass-production, the american furniture norfolk 18th century distinction between town and country became blurred. Quality was the
main distinguishing factor, then price. Provincial Davenports tended to have lumpier, more ungainly lines and fussy over-ornamentation.
Cheaper versions of davenports were made in bleached oak, elm or cheap imported walnut or mahogany, often for use in nurseries and schoolrooms Davenports are an ideal size for a child. When made in lighter wood and veneers, Davenports were also a favourite item of furniture in ladies’ bedrooms.
Reproductions
Until recently these small writing desks were out of
fashion and could be bought cheaply. In the victorian rocking chair/scrolled arms hand caned back and seat last few years, however, their value has risen considerably with a consequent increase in enthusiasm by restorers to make the cheap antique french vogue style chairs poor good and the walnut four foot drop leaf table good better. The
problem is complicated by the antique cupie doll fact that the antique punch ladle king patern Davenport’s popularity during the antique coin machine slot whole of the antique tube vacuum nineteenth century blurs the antique campbell doll i soup distinction between ‘original’ and ‘reproduction’, since few if any were made without the typical english leather desk accessoires assistance of machines.
Davenports were made in such quantities that it is possible to make endless combinations and marriages, changing a plain writing slope for a piano top or stripping the antique tricycles wooden ornate ornament from a base to match up with a plainly designed writing desk.
Today the rounded settees finest examples command high prices for their finish, craftsmanship and a variety of ingenious fittings. A plain, mass-produced poor-quality Davenport can be made to resemble, with relative ease, an early simple design with some well-matched thin veneer. The detail, finish and workmanship can never be achieved and it is these which should be closely scrutinized.
