Original 1950’s Old School Gym / Shoe Bench
£0
FREE Ground Floor delivery on this item, within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield locations will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
This gym bench dates to around the mid to late 1950’s. It came directly from St Andrew’s private school in Pangbourne, Berkshire. The bench is completely original but we refurbished the top as it was all stained and peeling of varnish. We kept as much of the original wear and colour as we could. It retains a beautiful colour and now has a nice clean sheen too. The baskets are in very good condition for their age. Perfectly aged patina. A very stylish but super practical shoe bench.
These are very popular benches and we are finding it harder and harder to get them like this. Every time we manage to find one it flies out to another very happy customer.
A perfect way of tidying up a hallway or entrance whilst adding a real style statement.
Dimensions: 142cm Wide, 29.5cm Deep Bench Top, 46.5cm Seat Height

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.

£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.
