This beautifully restored three-door wardrobe is a striking example of mid-century craftsmanship, fashioned from richly grained Sapele Mahogany. Its warm reddish-brown tones and subtle striped figuring give the piece a refined, timeless presence, while its minimalist silhouette highlights the natural beauty of the wood.
Elevated on tapered legs with a stretcher base for stability, the cabinet feels light yet grounded, making it suitable for both modern and retro-inspired interiors. The clean lines of the flush-panel doors open to reveal a thoughtfully designed interior: a full-length hanging space to the left, and on the right, a versatile arrangement of open shelving above a bank of three inset drawers with sculpted recessed pulls. The drawers, crafted in contrasting lighter timber with dovetail joints, emphasize durability and detail.
Practical yet elegant, this wardrobe offers generous storage while maintaining a sleek aesthetic, perfect for bedrooms, guest rooms, or as a stylish linen cupboard. A fine statement of functional design and enduring quality.
Mirror fitted on the inside of the left door, and hanging rod intact.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item/s description. Although every effort is made to refurbish our furniture to represent its original state best, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. For this reason, and although restored, signs of their vintage condition & age might still be visible. We will normally point out any visible/notable concerns. Take note of all photos or view the item in-store prior to purchasing.
As with many Mid-Century pieces, this item features a thoughtful combination of solid wood and high-quality wood veneer. Veneer has a long and respected tradition in furniture making, valued for both its aesthetic and structural benefits. When crafted with skill and applied in substantial thickness, vintage veneer proves highly durable, allowing for careful restoration, including retouching, sanding, and refinishing without compromising the integrity of the piece.
