A superb antique double filing cabinet in Oak, dating from the early 20th Century (c. 1920-30). This is an amazing cabinet in original condition throughout. The quality of manufacture and timber are reflected in the weight. The cabinet weighs around 50kg. It has all 18 original pull out drawers/ trays, all with through dovetail joints and original brass label holders. It was made for Cooke’s (Finsubury) Ltd who were based in the City of London (Finsbury Pavement), the Legal Centre of London (Walbrook, EC4, close to the Old Bailey) and SW1 close to Westminster. This reflects the quality of the original manufacturer and where their target Client base was aimed at. All round excellent provenance.
We rarely see these cabinets in such excellent original condition. A beautiful colour, size, and design. Both doors run freely making this a very practical piece that can be used on a daily basis.
A very nice example of an English roller door cabinet that offers beautiful styling with lots of storage capabilities. We do have three of these cabinets available. A very rare find indeed!

An excellent example of the ever popular Abbess double pedestal desk in Oak. These are often referred to as Teacher’s desks. This one dates from around 1940 and is in excellent condition. Two drawers to each pedestal offering four drawers with excellent storage. This desk also retains its original adjustable feet to level the desk and also gain some height if required (circa 2cm).
A great size offering a generous fully functioning desk but not too large to be difficult to position or accommodate. The colour and condition are exceptional.
We have sold a number of these Abbess desks and they never hang around for long.

We bought this stunning rocking chair for it’s amazing design. It has a stick back style, reminiscent of Georgian and Victorian tall Windsor chairs. The design has then been carried through to the base, or skirt, of the chair. A very unusual but superbly striking design. There is no major age to the chair, nor markings to age it. We suspect it is late 1970’s or early 1980’s but we fell in love with the design and painted black finish. It is constructed form pine throughout making the chair light for its size.
It now offers a beautiful bedroom, hallway, or dress chair with great style and character.
