Sign In to see what this sold for

Dutch Oak Linen Press, mid-18th century, the shaped and molded cornice domed and centered by a foliate and acorn shield-form carving, above two doors, each inset with a shaped panel, the lower section of bombe form and fitted with three long drawers, the whole raised on large ball-and-claw feet, h. 92-1/2", w. 66", d. 25".

Dutch Oak Linen Press: In "as found" condition with some old repairs. There is a narrow open shrinkage crack to both sides of the top along a glue seam. The base has similar cracks with one on the left side and two on the right. Old worn surface with a good overall patina. Scattered scuffs and dings from age and use. Shrinkage to the door panels from age. Approximately half of the vertical tongued and grooved back boards on the top section are missing. Appear to retain the original brasses and interior shelves. It was probably last used for a tv cabinet. The bottom interior shelf has three side by side openings (now lacking). There is a bottom board to the left opening but not the center and right opening.
