A press or “linen press” is a large, freestanding cabinets, primarily made of oak, walnut, or mahogany, originally used for storing linens, tablecloths, and other textiles. The name derives from the name given to a box that was used prior to the invention of irons for pressing linen and clothing. In the 18th-19th centuries the press could feature expensive veneers, intricate inlays, and occupy a prominent placement in bedrooms.
