MILLAR & BEATTY ANTIQUE IRISH GEORGIAN STYLE HARDWOOD WARDROBE LINEN PRESS

Antiques of London

This beautiful antique wardrobe is a fine example of early 19th-century Georgian-inspired craftsmanship, attributed to the distinguished Irish makers Millar & Beatty of Grafton Street, Dublin . The maker's label remains intact at the back, a rare and valuable survival that authenticates its heritage.

Crafted in richly figured hardwood, the wardrobe displays the classic elegance of Georgian design. The doors are finished with matched flame hardwood veneers, producing a striking symmetrical grain pattern, and are fitted with original handles. A deep frieze with finely carved dentil moulding crowns the piece, giving it a strong architectural presence.

The interior features a hanging rail with original brass hooks, offering ample storage for garments. Beneath, a full-width drawer provides additional space and is fitted with ornate brass handles. Raised on tall, square legs, the piece carries a refined, elevated stance, allowing for a lighter profile despite its generous proportions.

This wardrobe is not only functional but also a rare find with its documented Dublin provenance , as Millar & Beatty were one of the most highly regarded cabinetmakers and house furnishers in Ireland during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Their work is scarce on today's market, making this a particularly desirable collector's piece.

Deliveries & Collections

Before purchasing an item, please ask us for a quote by sending us your postcode. If you are happy with the quotation, we will schedule it.

The courier that will be delivering your item will require help to unload. The price that will be quoted will always be based on this assumption. If you need two men, the initial quote will change. It usually is £20-40 on top of the original quote.

If you need an item carried upstairs, the courier charges extra. They charge £10-20 per flight. However, if you have a working elevator and the thing fits inside, then there should be no extra charge.

We prefer that the courier fees be paid by yourself directly to the company; the contract for delivery is between you and the chosen courier.

Alternatively, you can arrange the delivery yourself, or if you would like to collect, you can collect from our warehouse in Pulborough RH20 1DF.

Caring for your items

Vintage period and original items, such as leather seating, will always have a natural patina in the form of cracking, creasing and wear.

We recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost and to keep out of sunlight.

For Hand-Dyed leather items, we don't recommend placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as they will dry out and fade.

For wood, we recommend regular, thorough cleaning and waxing also.
