Read moreEarly 20th Century Old School Hall / Shoe Cupboard
£0FREE ground floor delivery on this item. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge. Delivery will be a dedicated two man team due to the weight, typically within 10 working days.
We just love the flexibility, practicality and style of this old school cupboard. It is made from mahogany and dates to around the 1920’s to early 1930’s. It is a heavy weight piece, reflecting the quality of hardwood used and the handmade carpentry. We adore how the cupboard has aged and what condition is remains in, considering its use in the past. The piece is antique and vintage so there will be imperfections and signs of wear. Amazing condition and style for its age but it is not new. Please check all photographs for the condition. We think it now makes a perfect hall or boot room cupboard to store away all those shoes, trainers, school bags and books etc. Though it could easily be a bookcase, drinks cabinet, media store etc.
The doors have internal bolts on the left hand door and a lock and key to the right hand door. Making sure the doors stay closed.

£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 old school book case or drinks cabinet. The cabinet is presented in superbly coloured and very high quality thick radial cut oak with beautifully sliding glazed doors. As a gauge of the quality of wood the bookcase weighs in excess of 40kgs. We adore the colour of the piece, the grain of the wood and the simplicity of design to the cabinetry. The bookcase sits atop very well turned oak ball feet. We refinished the back in Farrow & Ball Wevet to really lift the piece and bring it in to 2021. The cabinet comes with its original lock but no key. It is in beautiful original condition but there will be some minor marks and blemishes due to the age of the piece. Please examine all photographs for the condition and just ask us if you would like more information/ close ups.
Internally it has two wooden shelves that are height adjustable via the brass supports or easily removed.
We think it makes a beautiful gin cabinet but of course can be a bookcase, display cabinet, bathroom towel cabinet etc.

Read more1960’s Large Old School Cupboard
£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this item. Some more remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
An original school cabinet saved form a school in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. It dates from around the early 1960’s in is made from solid beech throughout, giving it a solid feel and heavy 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. It has also had a new back and been fully sanded and cleaned inside. We left the original hand written shelf labels on because we love how they reflect its heritage and original use.
At almost 2 meters wide it now offers a vast array of uses, such as a hall cupboard for bags, shoes, scarves etc. or a large bookcase, Vinyl LP collection store, VERY large drinks cabinet. The choice is yours!
Old school styling meets uber practicality.

198cm Wide, 107cm High, 36cm Deep.
