Single Door Cabinet
« on: July 04, 2013, 03:19:08 am »
Hello all,

First post on here!

I found this cabinet in my loft, I have no idea of its design or even where it came from. Does anyone have any knowledge of the design or anything?

It has a key type device and a lock, but no key guard around the lock.

I am in the UK and my house was built c.1928.

Any info would be much appreciated!

Clint

most likely a bedside cabinet....judging from the pics i,d say about 3ft high,x about 20in/22in wide,...looks like oak, and has had various handles on the front..in the past,hence all the screw holes....the original handle will have been a round knob,with a square shaft...design wise....it has a deco look,.....value...here in UK..in this condition....i,d put it at around, £30/£60

Beautiful piece!  Looks to be Oak (like Wullie said).

Beat me to it Mart.  Is there a shelf inside or does it seem there was one in the past?

Hi all,

Thank you for the responses and information! It is much appreciated! It does have a shelf but is not as big as suggested; 36 x 36 x 71cm or 14 x 14 x 28inches. It would be nice to get another keyguard&key or handle again.

I have attached a few other photos.

Would anybody be interested?  ;D

Regards,

Clint

It is a very lovely piece. I would say in my area around 125.00. Does not look like oak to me. The grain is not pronounced enough.

Is that water stain in the center front?  Is the same on the inside of the door?

Haha! Darn, you caught me out on the sock! And shoe!  ;)

Yeah the seems to be a stain on the front, I hadn't really noticed it before! It's not on the back though.

Would anyone like to make me an offer? :D the style doesn't really go with my decor!

I appreciate all of the information! It's much appreciated!

Regards,

Clint

we are not a buying forum..... :D..ebay, is you best bet...and if you do decide to put it on ebay...do yourself a favour....offer to post it....its cheaper than you think....the cost of posting this via a carrier will be around £15...you can check out these guys...www.parcel2g o.com...i got a quote based on your measurements.and put a weight of 12kg..on it..and you can have it uplifted for as little as £7,99 + vat.....doing that,give,s you a broader market....instead of putting collection only..which would limit your market....

On second look some of the wood looks like oak but not all of it. Especially not decorative the panel on the door. That looks more like maple or birch to me.

i would be inclined to agree with you...on not all of it being oak....over here in the UK...it was common for this type of furniture to have a mix of soft woods and hard woods,...the back looks to be.tongue/grooved lining...which will most likely be pine,the inlay....could well be maple or birch...or another.....
