Antique Wardrobe, Baltimore Winged Mahogany, c. 1825

Attention: A wonderful find has presented the Friends of Belair Estate with a truly exciting opportunity!

Please help with the purchase of this wardrobe; no amount is too small

In December 2005, an Antique Dealer in Maryland, contacted the Museum office and is in possession of a high style Baltimore 1820's mahogany wardrobe with desk. It has an irrefutable Ogle family history through George Cooke Ogle's descendants.  George Ogle was the last Ogle master of Belair. His father's 1844 probate inventory lists a mahogany wardrobe valued at ten dollars; it is the most expensive single piece of furniture in the entire house.

The wardrobe is offered to the Belair Mansion at a substantial discount. The price is $28,0000.00; and is extended to the Mansion for $24,000.00!!

The Friends of Belair Estate have provided their considerable support of acquisitions at Belair Mansion for many years; as an example, the purchase of the Four original 1740's paintings of "The Seasons" by Philippe Mercier in 1997. The purchase of the Ogle wardrobe is as significant to the nineteenth-century story as the paintings are to the eighteenth-century history.

The Friends of Belair Estate sincerely hope they can count on all of us again to help with the purchase of such a wonderful find.  The purchase of this wardrobe is a significant step in recreating Belair and the lives of those who lived there. It is the hope that you will help to make this important purchase a reality.

All Contributions are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.

Please make checks payable to: Friends of Belair Estate
