Waring & Gillow Dresser in Farrow & Ball Off Black
£0
FREE Ground floor two man delivery with this piece. Further afield, remote or rural locations will incur a surcharge.
A Victorian styled English Dresser with glazed doors by Waring & Gillow. Waring & Gillow were formed in 1897 by merging Gillows of Lancaster with Warings of Liverpool. Waring’s of Liverpool was founded by John Waring, who arrived in the city from Belfast in 1835 and established a wholesale cabinet making business. He was succeeded by his son Samuel James Waring who rapidly expanded the business during the 1880s, furnishing hotels and public buildings throughout Europe. He also founded Waring-White Building Company which built the Liverpool Corn Exchange, Selfridge’s department store and the Ritz Hotel.
We estimate this piece was originally produced in the 1980’s in the Victorian style. It has a quality weight and feel to it, originally finished in Cherry veneer. Fantastically simple in it’s lines and design but of impressive stature. Even the glass has a quality weight and very nicely finished bevel edges. The dresser will add real presence to a room and offer lots of space for storage and display. The simple lines and colour scheme will allow the piece to blend with many design themes from Traditional to Contemporary. The dresser has been repainted in Farrow and Ball’s Off Black to the exterior and dark waxed for finish and protection. The finish nods to the antique heritage of its design and style. The internal sections of the dresser were in such good condition we left the natural colour of the cherry to shine through and complement the exterior colour.
With adjustable shelves to both sections and a free running serpentine drawer it now offers lots of very flexible and useful storage space – but in a beautiful package.
The top section is removable for transportation and siting in to the room of your choice.
Dimensions:
214cm High, 118cm Max width (top cornice), 47.5cm Max Depth (bottom section)
Upper section is 101cm wide (main body), 35cm deep

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.

£0FREE Shipping on this piece. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
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. It is very stylish, classic and flexible in design and very flexible to match a vast array of room styles. The colour is superb having aged beautifully over the last 120 years+.
We think it would also make a fantastic individual bookcase/ dresser or kitchen / diner cabinet. The piece is tall though and does not split in to two sections for transportation. The bookcase stands at 231cm tall so please check your ceiling heights carefully before purchasing. This is an impressive size that will certainly commands lots of attention and only appreciate in value.
Superb original antique charm with very contemporary lines.

Read more1930’s Globe Wernicke Stacking Bookcase in Oak
£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.
