This particular press has a moulded cornice above two beautifully figured cupboard doors with key and working lock. The interior has a total of five mahogany lined linen trays with interesting shaped detailing to their backs. The base is made up of two over two drawers, all being mahogany lined and having cock beading along with turned handles. One of the drawers carriers the stamp of W. Priest. This super linen press stands on a plain plinth and its substantial size splits into two sections making transportation slightly easier. The quality of timbers used and craftsmanship of its build are self evident in this piece. It also displays the character and charm only gained through age and use but this only adds to its beauty.
