This is a Monumental English Rosewood Linen Press made by
Johnson and Appleyard, prominent furniture makers in the mid
19th century. Made in the year 1861 and purchased from the
great nephew of the man who made it. I was told it came from
the estate of Dame Edith Sitwell, the well known English Poetess
who was born the daughter of a baronet and died in 1964. It is a
museum quality piece. This is a massive piece, (9 feet 10 in.
tall, 65 inches wide and 32 inches deep). The finials alone are
12 inches tall and 8 inches wide! It is truly a piece you run across
once in a lifetime. $42,000.00
