We are very pleased to be able to bring this rare antique piece to our website. It is simply stunning. Manufactured by Globe Wernicke around the early 1930’s it would have been sat in a warehouse office for filing in the drawers and storage of details on index cards. It is manufactured from radial cut, top quality oak and oak veneer (sides). The brass ware on the front is original and has been fully cleaned. It is quite simply the best example of aged handles and brass label holders that we have see. And we have seen a lot of pieces!

£0FREE UK Mainland Shipping on this item. Some more remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
This gym bench dates to around the late 1940’s to early 1950’s. It is a heavy solid piece being topped in 30mm thick iroko hardwood and having 18 shoe baskets. The bench is also a nice deep one at 31cm. SO much storage!
This bench is in super original condition both in the solid wood top and the perfectly aged galvanised steel baskets. We cleaned, sanded and refinished the bench top in a clear stain varnish as it was very tired and dirty. Most of these style of benches get bent or broken over the years but this one is in a lovely aged condition. We fully cleaned the piece. It has all the original style and character but ready for another 60+ years of use.
These are very popular benches and we are finding it harder and harder to get them like this. Every time we manage to find one it flies out to another very happy customer. This one is unlike most due to being bigger and having lots more baskets.
A perfect way of tidying up a hallway or entrance whilst adding a real style statement.
Dimensions: 136cm Wide, 31cm Max Depth, 48cm Seat Height

£525FREE Shipping on this piece. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A very stylish 19th Century Victorian glazed dresser / bookcase in original mahogany finish. It dates from around 1870 to 1890 and has original cabinetry, glass, upper section lock and key. The lower section has a secret serpentine drawer with two door cupboard below. The corbels are very well carved. The dresser is in original condition with some signs of old repairs and a few ‘dings’ here and there. It is good condition for its age with all joints solid and all four doors opening freely on their original hinges. We fully cleaned and oiled the original exterior finish then repainted the top internal with Farrow & Ball Wevet colour paint. This has given the piece the perfect mix of antique, rustic and contemporary. It is very stylish, subtle in design and very flexible in the colours – to match a vast array of room palletes. The size is very good too. Not too huge and imposing but also offering plenty of stylish storage.
We think it would also make a fantastic and individual kitchen / diner cabinet or a bookcase/ dresser. The piece splits in to two sections for ease of transportation and siting.
Please note this is over 130 years old and does carry residual marks and damage from use, along with a couple of old repairs (done well) to the hinge area of the right door. We have photographed everything to try and show its true condition, so please examine the photographs closely and just ask, should you need more photographs or a detailed condition report. All marks are part of its history and add to the rustic appeal and original character of the piece. Perfectly imperfect!
Superb rustic chic charm.
Dimensions: 208cm High, 90cm Max Width, 39cm Max Depth (bottom), 29cm Max Depth top section (at the top cornice)
