1960s Bookcase by Staverton in Hague Blue
£0
FREE Two man ground floor delivery on this piece to most UK postcodes. Further afield and more remote areas will incur a surcharge.
A completely unique original mid century glazed bookcase, produced by Staverton in 1962. This piece came to us in such a terrible state of veneer and dirt. We couldn’t save the veneer so we had to rethink a complete refurbishment and reinvention. The whole bookcase was fully stripped back and refinished in Farrow & Ball Hague Blue, with a clear coat of wax for resilience and protection. The inside was fully sanded back, cleaned and re-varnished. The doors were all stripped, sanded back and refinished in Hague Blue then glazed with new reeded glass for a true contemporary finish. We love the finished piece! A real fusion of original mid century meets Contemporary practicality.
We have styled the bookcase as a mix of books and drinks cabinet but this could have so many potential uses e.g a kitchen cupboard for glass, mugs, cups etc, a spice rack and cooking ingredients store, a bathroom cabinet for towels and toiletries, a bedroom piece for hair and beauty products, the list goes on…… 🙂
Wait til your visitors see this one in your home?

Read moreBeautiful Tall Victorian Glazed Bookcase / Dresser in Walnut
£0FREE Shipping on this piece. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A beautiful and very stylish late 19th Century Victorian glazed dresser / bookcase in original walnut finish. It dates from around 1880 to 1900 and has beautifully aged original cabinetry, glass, brass ware, locks and key for both sections. This came from a private Client home in SW London where it lived through three generations, owned by the same family. It is very stylish, classic and flexible in design and very flexible to match a vast array of room styles. The colour is superb having aged beautifully over the last 120 years+.
We think it would also make a fantastic individual bookcase/ dresser or kitchen / diner cabinet. The piece is tall though and does not split in to two sections for transportation. The bookcase stands at 231cm tall so please check your ceiling heights carefully before purchasing. This is an impressive size that will certainly commands lots of attention and only appreciate in value.
Superb original antique charm with very contemporary lines.
Dimensions: 231cm High, 119cm Max Width (top cornice), 46cm Max Depth (bottom)
Delivery requires a dedicated two man service and will be to ground floor only. Please email us if you require delivery to a different floor (lower or upper).

Read moreOriginal c1910 Ritter Dental Cabinet
£0An original Ritter (of Germany) Dental cabinet dating from around 1910-20. This was in a sorry state when it came to us but has now been fully refurbished. Standing on the original marble plinth with all original glass, shelves and handles. Unfortunately some of the glassware to the drawer handles did not survive the 100+ years. We decide to leave the bases on the drawers as they are still the original bases.
The piece has been finished in Farrow & Ball’s Green Smoke; which we think just complements the overall aesthetics perfectly.
We are unashamedly in love with this cabinet and it has lit up many eyes from the people that have seen the piece in the flesh. Stunning!
Very rare and we have not seen another one like it anywhere…..
