This impressive Mirrored Oak Compactum is a striking and highly practical piece of antique bedroom furniture, combining generous hanging space with drawers and a central cupboard. Crafted in solid oak, it showcases beautiful grain throughout, particularly across the door panels and drawer fronts, with a warm, rich tone enhanced by careful restoration. The layout offers excellent storage. The two end compartments, each fitted with a mirrored door, open to reveal hanging rails with five sliding hooks on each rail, along with six fixed hooks, providing flexible options for coats and garments. The central cupboard features two small internal rails — a front-to-back rail on the right-hand side and a shorter rail on the left — ideal for additional hanging or organising smaller items. Beneath the central cupboard are drawers with original-style brass drop handles, offering further storage.This compactum is made from oak with plywood drawer bases and back panels.The piece has been fully stripped and refinished, with multiple coats of hard-wearing matte lacquer applied to protect the timber and highlight the natural character of the oak. The finish provides durability while retaining a soft, sympathetic sheen in keeping with its age. As shown in the photographs, there are signs of age-related wear consistent with a piece of this period. These include areas of surface marking, small knocks and dents to the oak, wear around the keyholes, and historically filled areas visible in close-up. The interior also shows age-related darkening and wear. These features have been retained as part of the compactum’s authentic character and history, and do not detract from its functionality or overall appearance. With its combination of mirrored doors, practical interior fittings, and handsome oak construction, this Mirrored Oak Compactum is both a statement piece and a highly functional addition to a period or characterful home.[dimensions][w]187[/w][h]204[/h][d]53[/d][/dimensions]
