Read morec1920’s Solid Oak Cupboard / Kitchen Dresser
£0FREE two man ground floor delivery on this item. Some more remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
An original solid oak cupboard dating from around the late 1920’s to early 1930’s. It came to us from a church in North Wales where it spent its whole life storing hymn books, Order of Services etc. We gave it a through clean, some tlc and gentle restoration to bring it back to its beautiful former glory. We think it would now make a superb kitchen dresser for crockery, glasses etc. Though it could also be a superb hall cupboard for shoes, bags, scarves and gloves? Or a beautiful bathroom cupboard for towels and toiletries? When something is as classically beautiful as this you can move it around your home over the years as you change room interiors and style themes.
The piece splits in to two sections that screw together, making delivery and moving it much easier.

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.
It will require a dedicated two man delivery team due to the weight.
