Wardrobes are an item of furniture that features in just about every bedroom in the world, but did you know that the word “wardrobe” didn’t used to mean what it means today? In fact it was initially used to describe a room/apartment! Back in medieval England “the Kings’ Wardrobe used to be the area of all manners of machinery and in fact the actual clothes were stored in something called a “press” which was divided into two parts, one of hanging clothes and one for laying them flat.
It wasn’t until around the 18th century until the wardrobe was accepted as a stand alone piece of furniture and even then it still consisted of a clothes press flanked by a cupboard in which to hang clothing items. The turn of the 19th century saw mass production of the wardrobe and it took on the more modern design that we know today.
Just for comparisons sake we’ve taken some images off a search engine image search and put a few eras side-by-side. As you can see the design of the Wardrobe stayed fairly similar until more recently where you can find a vast array of features and sizes.
We have a wide range of solid mahogany wardrobes. Each one is handmade and constructed using traditional methods including dovetail joints and available with either a traditional wax polish finish or hand painted in a choice of colours. You can find a small highlighted selection of these below.
Starting off at the lower price range we have the French Sleigh 2 drawer Mahogany Wardrobe which is made from sustainable mahogany and features two functional drawers and a clothing rail within.
Heading towards the more middle range of our pricing this is the French Wedding Armoire which features handcarved intricate detail throughout the furniture piece as well as a choice of shelves or hanging rail.
This Classic Collection Windsor 3 Door Wardrobe is something more akin to a more modern wardrobe with it’s inclusive shelves, hanging rail and door mirror.
Finally at the top end of our price range is the stunning Hampton 4 Door Walnut Wardrobe which is hand crafted from solid Mindi wood with walnut veneers. This giant of a furniture piece resembles something more from an older era with it’s multiple doors and shelves. A grand feature piece for a bedroom we’re sure you’ll agree!
That is just a taste of the various Wardrobes we at Lock Stock & Barrel Furniture Ltd have to offer you, to see what else we have in our range please click here!

Four poster beds have a very long history and records show that they were in existence in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. It was undeniably very symbolic of status and was customary for royalty and noblemen to own a four poster bed. The origins of the four poster bed are unknown but they are thought to have derived in Austria before arriving in England where it soon became a part of the British aristocracy.
We at Lock Stock and Barrel Furniture offer a wide range of uniquely designed 4 poster beds that are all hand carved and finished with traditional wax polish to retain the natural colouration of the beautiful sustainable wood materials that we use. For some examples of our Tudor range beds see below!
Both of these beds have been hand crafted with Tudor features and includes shell carving on the headboards. Made from Mahogany wood sourced from sustainable plantations we are not only making sure that these beds are made from the highest quality materials but they are also not harming the existing environment.
Other unique designs we offer include colonial four poster beds and half tester beds which is a variation on the four poster which we have covered before in a previous blog post.

The console table is an item of furniture that was first designed in the 18th century and was originally a half-moon shaped slab fixed to the wall with an s-shaped bracket known as a console. Most of the time a mirror was affixed above the small table for the woman of the house to apply makeup or power their faces. Other times they were used as pure decoration and did not usually have items of weight on them due to bracket not being able to withstand heavy objects.

The console table we know and love today is more of a small freestanding table than a wall-fixed bracketed floating “shelf”. They are also more commonly seen in hotels or stately homes. They are seen as both functional and decorative, often having lots of money spent on them and the dressing as they are used as a first impression on the guest as they walk in.
Here are some examples of some of the console tables we have to offer:
A more traditional design of console table, our Carved Mahogany Console Table. Made from solid mahogany and finished with a traditional wax polish to enhance the natural wood.
Perhaps a table with a modern twist to it? The 2 Drawer Hall Table will look great in any hallway and would make a great feature piece, as well as a good area to stash your keys or everyday small items!
Want to really wow your guests? Why not go all out and get one of our William and Mary Walnut Console Tables? Made from excellent quality Walnut veneer on a solid wood carcass it features 3 Drawers finished with drop handles and intricately carved legs. A larger piece but will be sure to draw the eye!
