52" x 18" x 81'' This Middle to late 19th Century, Gothic revival style, walnut wardrobe is tentatively attributed to the craftsmanship of John William August Kleine, a German immigrant cabinetmaker. The most striking of feature of the wardrobe is the unique pointed arch rail at the tops of the doors. It closely resembles the wardrobe on the page 87 (Plate 2.17), Texas Furniture, The Cabinetmakers and Their Works, 1840-1880. The modest handmade wardrobe measures 17-1/2” deep, 52” wide and 84” tall. The interior contains a 1” x 15” x 72” pine partition, one half for hanging and the other, a linen press containing six shelves.
Kleine is the only documented 19th century Texas cabinetmaker crafting wardrobes without an applied arch to the recessed panel (see page 80, Plate 2.20, Texas Furniture, The Cabinetmakers and Their Works, 1840-1880). Full opening double doors measure 25” x 72”. The 1” thick rails and styles are joined by mortise and tenon construction. The ½” thick recessed flat panels consist of two irregular width boards exhibiting interior top and bottom chamfers. The doors are visually interrupted by a single ½” wide cock bead running the length of the left door. Two iron hinges secure each door to the sides of the case. The wood surrounding the hinges shows staining the attests to its age.
Sides of the case are single board construction, measuring 1” x 48” x 80”. It is attached at the rear to irregular width tongue and grooved 1” thick pine boards. These boards are secured at the top and bottom by cut nails.
The modest cornice contains a replaced crown molding. Remaining examples of the Kleine’s cornices suggests he used a bold cove molding. Below the 3” wide frieze and above the doors is an applied 1/4” cock bead molding (some of it has been replaced). Likewise, there is a ¼” cock bead molding below the doors and establishes the projecting base. These moldings are attached on three sides of the case by wire nails. The base is applied and projects ½” from the case. The sides have a simple cyma curve skirt. The front cyma curve skirt is missing
John Williams August Kleine emigrated from Prussia and settled in Gonzales County in 1853. He established a cabinet shop, and later a furniture store, in Gonzales and operated it for over 25 years.
Mr. Jeff Merrell of Bastrop purchased the wardrobe from a Gonzales, TX estate (with the crown molding missing). Leftovers Antiques of Brenham acquired the piece in 2008 and subsequently added the crown molding. In January of 2010, GBG acquired the wardrobe.
