Read moreEarly 20th Century Solid Oak Very Large School Cupboard/ Cabinet
£0FREE Ground Floor Only Delivery on this item. Further afield locations will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
An original very heavy oak school cabinet which came to us from a Barristers Chambers in Lancashire. These cabinets were hand made in the 1920’s to late 1930’s. The construction is of high quality English oak and the cabinet weighs around 100 kgs. The size, colour, weight and quality of oak just scream quality. It has all of its original brass-ware and was produced for schools (predominantly) in the 1920’s and early 30’s. They were often painted over, neglected or even scrapped. Imagine this full of kitchen ware, glasses etc or as a TV Stand with huge storage below for children’s games and toys?
Pure quality and a piece of UK academic history.
Given the right room and position this will gain LOTS of attention and admiration.

£0FREE Ground Floor Shipping within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A very stylish and superb looking old school science lab cabinet. Dating from the 1960’s the cabinet is constructed from solid beech and veneer faced bottom doors. The cabinet came to us from a school in Harrogate, where it spent its whole life. It was rescued by the teacher’s son before it was heading for its destiny in a skip! Internally it is very clean with adjustable shelf height supports on both sides. The height of the shelves can easily be adjusted or they can be removed completely. The internal bolts and handles to the exterior are all present and original. Both top and lower sections are lockable and have the keys. The lower section does have some cut outs in the back where sockets/ leads were accessed. These science lab cabinets are getting very hard to find and are so sought after; especially such original ones as this in beech. We can definitely appreciate why! The cabinet splits in to the upper and lower sections for ease of transportation and siting.
Perfect as a book store, magazines etc or a drinks cabinet to mix up your own special potions. Superb clean lines, in great condition and a superb colour. Very on trend!

An original solid oak cupboard dating from around the late 1920’s to early 1930’s.
