£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this item, within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Some more remote and rural locations will incur a charge. It will require a dedicated two man delivery team due to the weight.
An original Victorian school cupboard in beautiful light oak. The back has been painted in Farrow and Ball Manor House Grey to give it an up to date, contemporary feel. The rest of the cupboard is in an original state, the outside benefitting from a clear varnish finish. This heavyweight piece dates to around 1880 – 1900 and is a great representation of the craftsmanship that went in to finishing the cabinet. The cupboard does split for transportation and moving to the room of your choice. We think it would make the perfect kitchen dresser, hall cupboard, or reading room statement piece. A very sought after item and given the right room and position this will gain LOTS of attention and admiration.

Read more1920’s Solid Oak Large School Cupboard
£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this item, within approximately 10 days. Some more remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
An original 1920’s school cabinet saved from a school in Manchester. We rescued this cupboard from a Primary school that opened in 1921, where the cupboard has been since new. We bought the cupboard to give the school money towards their planned library refurbishment. It stored books, paperwork and paints originally. The size, colour, weight and quality of oak are just perfect for the age and style of the piece. This piece weighs circa 70kgs, as a reflection of the quality of oak and craftsmanship that went in to finishing the cabinet. It has most original brass-ware and internal door catch. The carcass, doors and internal shelves are all completely original.
We had to thoroughly clean and do some gentle restoration to the cupboard, to make it the condition it is today. We think it would make the perfect hall cupboard, or boot room cupboard. Though it could easily be a kitchen larder, bathroom towel store, bed linen cupboard etc etc.
Given the right room and position this will gain LOTS of attention and admiration.
Dimensions:
183cm High, 133cm Wide, 45cm Max Depth (top cornice). Depth of main cupboard – 40cm.

Read more1960’s Old School Cupboard by Dalescraft (pair avaiable)
£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this item. Some more remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
An original school cabinet saved from a school in Frodsham, Cheshire. It dates from around the early 1960’s and in is made from beech frame and teak, giving it a nice solid feel and weight. It was in a sorry state when we bought it so we stripped it back, oiled it, sympathetically colour matched the wood colour, then refinished in a satin sheen finish top coat. We have a matching pair available.
