£0
FREE UK Mainland Shipping on this item. Some more remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
This old school gym/ changing bench dates to the early 1960’s and came to us straight from a school near Cambridge. We had to make some new legs as the original ones were cut at the back for fitting over radiator pipes (definitely old school!) It is now fully stable with no wobbles and perfectly aged wear on the baskets, square steel legs in sprayed black paint and superb solid hardwood top. It has a really nice weight and looks fantastic We just gave it a good clean, and lightly oiled the seat for replenishment and a refresh.
This piece has all the superb old school styling you could want and a really good size. A perfect way of tidying up a hallway or entrance whilst adding a real style statement.
Dimensions: 111cm Wide, 39cm Seat Height, 27cm Seat Depth

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…..

£0FREE Delivery on this item. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A superb example of Globe Wernicke’s stacking ‘elastic’ bookcase. This is in the more rare and better quality oak veneer and radial cut oak, rather than the more common mahogany veneer ones. All glass and brass ware are original, together with the internal iron works for the ‘up and over’ scissor door lifts system. Pretty rare to see this on the Globe Wernicke’s.
Wernicke Co. produced the Elastic bookcase in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the late 19th Century (founded circa 1882) until they were bought by The Globe Files Co. in 1899. Wernicke invented the elastic bookcase and patented the designs.
Once Globe bought Wernicke the famous brand Globe-Wernicke began producing the elastic stack able book cases under patent in the USA. Thomas Turner also started marketing the design in England. Globe-Wernicke then expanded in to Canada, France, Belgium and Austria.
If you have any further questions or would like to view please contact us and we can certainly accommodate.
