c1920’s Solid Oak Cupboard from Kings College London
£0
FREE two man ground floor delivery on this item. Some more remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
An original school cabinet that came from Kings College London. It originally dates from the late 1920’s to mid 1930’s. It was owned by a senior professor of Cardiology that pioneered the chemicals used to safely stop the heart whilst heart surgery is performed. He purchased the cupboards from Kings College and had them shipped to his home. They have been cleaned and re-varnished at some point but have lost none of their original beautiful oak grain, patina and colour. The brass drawer label holders are original, along with the escutcheons. The drawers are all completely original and fully in tact. The professor has new liners cut that sit on top of the original bottoms of the drawers – purely for aesthetics and cleanliness. The lower brass knobs were a later addition.
The size, colour, weight and quality of oak just shines through. This piece weighs circa 70kgs, as a reflection of the quality of oak and craftsmanship that went in to finishing the cabinet.
Pure quality and a true piece of UK academic history, with supporting provenance.
Given the right room and position this will gain LOTS of attention and admiration.
Dimensions:
90cm High, 195cm Wide, 60cm Max depth.
It will require a dedicated two man delivery team due to the weight.

£0A stunning kitchen island handmade by us from 19th Century English Oak and turn of the Century antique pine frame. We love the styling of butcher’s blocks but aren’t so keen on the reality of their original use. So we created the style and practicality from original materials and kept all of the character of antique wood. We think it’s the best of both worlds and love the look and feel of this. Commissions can be taken to make these to your own specific measurements.

£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.
Measurements: 104cm Wide x 30.5cm High x 2.5cm Deep
