Early 20th Century Headmaster’s Bookcase / Dresser by T.Simpson & Sons
£0
FREE Shipping on this piece. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A truly stunning early 20th Century glazed bookcase / dresser in perfectly aged mahogany. It dates from around the early 1900’s to 1920 and has completely original cabinetry, glass, internal brass hardware and stunning handles. The bookcase originally came from a Headmaster’s office in Halifax, West Yorkshire. It was bought by a traveling salesman and has been owned for the last 50 years by the same family. The dresser is in excellent original condition for its age with all joints solid. The brass ware is amongst the best we have come across. Each door handle knob turns to release its catch. Unusual for a bookcase, and a sign of the quality of manufacture and cost when produced.
The piece was likely commissioned for the Headmaster by T.Simpson & Sons of Halifax. Simpson & Sons is a well know maker and pieces by their hands now command very high prices. It has one significant cosmetic point to note. A scratch on the upper section of the bottom cupboard. Purely cosmetic and could be filled and polished out, should you wish.
We think it makes a fantastic dresser but could equally be a sunning kitchen/ diner cabinet for glasses, crockery etc.
It des split in to two sections for delivery and transport but will require a dedicated two man delivery team.
Dimensions: 211cm High, 137.5cm Max Width, 52cm Max Depth (bottom), 36.5cm Max Depth top section (at the top cornice)

£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.

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…..
