Lot 1088: A Vintage John Smith's Pine Two-door Wardrobe
A vintage John Smith’s Pine two-door wardrobe, featuring a handmade solid pine construction with a natural waxed finish. The upper section consists of a two-door cupboard with recessed rectangular panels, opening to an interior fitted with a metal hanging rail. The doors are hung on black-finished metal butterfly-style hinges and are fitted with two circular ceramic knobs decorated with blue and white floral patterns. The base features a single full-width drawer, which is fitted with two turned wooden knobs. A small rectangular metal label is affixed to the interior woodwork, which reads ‘Handmade by John Smith’s Pine Melton Mowbray’. The piece demonstrates traditional joinery with visible grain and knots throughout the timber.
Large-scale furniture items; exact dimensions are not provided.
Condition report:
General surface wear is visible across the exterior, including minor scuffs, scratches, and small indentations (photo 1). The interior back panel has three circular holes drilled into the timber, likely for cable access or ventilation (photo 2). There is a small area of splintering and wood loss to the internal frame near the maker\'s label (photo 3). The hardware and hinges appear intact and functional.
