£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.

126cm High, 123cm Wide, 51.5cm Max Depth (Top)
