An excellent example of an original mid century glazed bookcase, produced by Staverton in the 1950’s and 60’s. This one is clearly stamped 1962 on the back to date it accurately (please see photographs). It is produced from high quality radial cut English oak and oak veneer with ply internals and section dividers. All of the glass is complete with no cracks. The condition is excellent for the year. It has been gently and sympathetically brought back to its best by us, without over restoring and stripping all of the patina and character away. It is in exceptional condition for the age with beautiful colour and natural patina. Two of the pigeon holes do have some stains that could not be removed. Please see photographs. Clearly these can be covered to hide the stains but we have to show them for honesty and transparency.
With it’s simple lines, quality of oak and carpentry it is a beautiful vintage classic. These glazed Staverton bookcases are pretty rare now. Our pricing research could only find one other for sale at £1399 plus delivery costs.

A very stylish late 19th Century Victorian glazed dresser / bookcase in original oak finish. It dates from around 1880 to 1900 and has original cabinetry, glass, beautifully ornate handles, lock and key. We fully cleaned and gently restored the whole exterior then repainted the top internal section with Farrow & Ball Wevet colour paint.

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. The bookcase stands at 214cm tall so please check your ceiling heights carefully before purchasing. This is an impressive size that will certainly commands lots of attention.
