Vintage Walnut Double Door Tall Cabinet

This smart vintage cabinet is something of an enigma. We believe it’s a Morris of Glasgow piece such is the quality of walnut and it was acquired alongside other pieces by this maker. However, we think it may have been modified at some point over the decades. Our hunch is it was perhaps a taller storage cupboard or even a slim wardrobe that’s been shortened but with the top and bottom retained. Behind the double doors there was bays of shelves, the ones on the right are original, the ones on the left added. The modification has been very well done and at a glance you wouldn’t even know. It’s only if you scrutinise it, which we have as part of our checking process, you notice small clues. Regardless of this, the end result is a really useful, tall cupboard that looks very handsome on the outside – the walnut stripes are glorious – and is very practical on the inside. This is a vintage, repurposed piece that would work in any room from kitchen to bathroom to hallway to living room.

Description

This original, vintage sideboard is ‘sold as seen’. Overall it is in good – very good, used condition. The piece has been cleaned, inside and out, and a natural beeswax polish applied and buffed on the external surfaces, but otherwise the finish is original. As described, we believe this is an original Morris of Glasgow piece that has been repurposed at some point into this cabinet. The modification has been very well done and is barely noticeable, certainly from the outside. The shelves in the larger left cupboard have been added at some point. The door handles, hinges and closures are secure and in good working order. The interior and shelves are in good clean order too. There are light marks and dents here and there on the exterior wood surfaces, very minor signs of use in line with its age. It’s a well-made piece that’s robust and sturdy. Do browse through our photos for an accurate sense of its condition. If you have any questions or would like to view this piece, just get in touch.
