FREE Delivery on this piece. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A simply stunning and very rare solid oak desk handmade by the world renowned Globe Wernicke. It dates from around the late 1920’s to mid 1930’s and is in completely original condition but fully cleaned and gently restored by us.
Truly stunning heavy English radial cut oak throughout, with through dovetails joints to the pull out drawers and dovetails on the kneehole and pedestal drawers. These desk are pretty hard to find in such good original condition but to find one by Globe Wernicke is pretty special indeed. The tambour door works smoothly, as do all drawers and the pull out top shelves. The desk has lots of beautiful little pigeon holes and two very special pull out trays for pens. The roller door has its original lock and key. When the door is pulled down and locked an internal locking mechanism also locks all drawers at the same time. Very secure.
A beautiful and rare desk that can be used as a decorative/ dress piece or as a fully functioning desk space.
The build and quality will mean these desks can only appreciate in value if looked after well.

Read moreVintage SPECIAL Bus Blind 1969
£0FREE Shipping on this item within the UK.
This is an original vintage linen bus blind in a great size and super vintage condition. It came from a Bus in South Yorkshire first used in 1969. We bespoke mounted the blind in an antique white thick card mount and bespoke black wooden frame. With its age, size and condition the piece now offers some fantastic original vintage wall art. There are signs of use on the blind, as clearly this has been in use and rolled around many times but we would consider it in excellent vintage condition for the age. All part of its heritage and authenticity.
Such a different piece of wall art to hang wherever you choose.

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…..
