    it's 60 inches tall 16 inches deep and 27 inches wide.
    wondering if it's just a small wardrobe or something specific like a linen cabinet or bar cabinet?
    built around 1900. also picked up several Irish pieces at the estate so could possibly be Irish. any info appreciated.

    Linen cabinet. Might be Irish, as it looks English, if that makes sense. Burr walnut. I'd have thought earlier than 1900.

    Beautiful. I also think it could be earlier, but the furniture people will be able to tell from the construction, etc.

    People didn't own that much linen. It's a fairly typical size.
