£0FREE Shipping on this item within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A beautifully styled early 20th Century glazed cabinet in oak. The piece dates from around 1910-1920’s and is presented in very good original condition with working lock and key. The cabinet has a good weight to it, reflecting the quality of wood used. We replaced the original leaded glass due to a number of sections being cracked or missing. We added reeded glass panels to really make the piece pop and freshen it up. The interior is also a lovely rich colour from the oak with three adjustable height shelves. There is also an additional shelf that we will include, should you wish to have four shelves inside.
A beautiful cabinet, be it for books, kitchenware and glasses, drinks, bathroom towels and toiletries – or whatever you choose.

Read moreIncredible Solid Oak Oak Bookcase from Cambridge University
£0FREE Ground Floor Shipping on this piece within approximately 150 miles of Cambridgeshire. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A simply stunning early 20th Century bookcase/ dresser in beautiful oak. It dates from around 1900 to 1920 and came to us from Cambridge University Psychology Department, where it spent its whole life. The external finish is in its original beautifully aged and coloured oak. There are also some superb hand carvings to the lower door panels. Depicting academia carvings of books and quills – most likely a bespoke commission piece for the university. Internally the top section shelves are all height adjustable so that the distance between the shelves can be altered to your needs. All of the glass is original, as are the beautifully aged brass handles. The locks work and there is one key. The photographs show two shelves in the top section but the are three for each side. It will be supplied with all three shelves.
The piece was always used as a bookcase but clearly now would also make a beautiful dresser in a kitchen, dining room, living room etc. Rarely do we see pieces that that make us stop in our tracks to admire but this is certainly one of those pieces. The top and bottom sections do split for easier transportation and siting.
Dimensions: 238cm High, 183cm Max Width, 50cm Depth (bottom section), 30cm Depth (top section, excluding top cornice).
Delivery requires a dedicated two man service and will be to ground floor only.

Read moreOriginal Antique Gin Cabinet in Oak with Lock
£0FREE Shipping on this item within around 10 working days. Please email us for a quote, should you require a faster service. Far afield and rural areas will incur a charge.
A beautiful example of an original antique gin cabinet or display case. The cabinet is presented in totally original condition throughout the frame, base, doors and glass. The oak has aged perfectly to give a beautiful antique patina. The piece has some beautiful carving detail to the door edge and is a very elegant design throughout. Most probably early Edwardian in age dating form the early part of the 20th Century. The cabinet retains its original brass ware, with locking bolts to the left door, original hinges and door latch, together with working lock and one key. We refinished the back in Farrow & Ball Wevet to really freshen the piece up and bring in in to 2021 trends. The top does separate easily form the base for transportation and positioning.
We adore the colour and age of the piece, the quality of the oak and the stunning carved pattern to the door. We think it makes a beautiful gin cabinet but of course can be a bookcase, display cabinet or other drinks cabinet.

A beautiful old school glazed bookcase dating from around 1920 to 1930. It is presented in original and beautifully aged quality oak throughout.

Internally, the shelves are all height adjustable or removable via the original brass adjustment and support system.
This bookcase came to us via a private school in the Cotswolds. A school full of many beautiful quality antiques. This bookcase would have been a top quality price when purchased.
