Tax included
Only 1 in stock
A wonderful antique pine storage cabinet, believed to have originated from a school according to the previous owner. With ten spacious drawers above a generous double-door cupboard, this substantial piece offers exceptional storage while showcasing the timeless character and craftsmanship of early utilitarian furniture.
– Excellent restored condition
Constructed from solid pine, the cabinet has developed a beautifully rich honey-coloured patina, enhanced by decades of honest use. The ten drawers retain their original cast brass handles and inset label holders, reflecting the organised nature of its original purpose. Whether used to store classroom materials, stationery or other supplies, the thoughtful design has made it every bit as practical today as when it was first made.
The panelled cupboard below provides ample concealed storage, making this an incredibly versatile piece for a country kitchen, pantry, utility room, home office, studio or retail space. Its clean lines and warm, mellow finish allow it to sit comfortably within both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Condition
Presented in excellent restored condition, the cabinet displays the expected signs of age and use, including knocks, marks and areas of wear that tell the story of its working life and add to its authentic charm. These imperfections have been carefully preserved, ensuring the character of the piece remains intact. We have added a new plywood back as there was a large section missing. Please take a look at the photographs for more detail.

Our restoration process
Preparation
We carefully assess every piece, identifying any damage, repairs or replacement parts it may need. Drawers may need new runners, handles can be missing or damaged, and joints may require repair or reinforcement. We look beyond the surface to uncover hidden defects, ensuring each piece is restored to work as it was originally intended.
Restoration
With over 20 years of experience, we know that the right restoration techniques can make all the difference. It’s a delicate process that takes patience, skill and attention to detail — one we’ve taken the time to perfect. Each piece is carefully and sensitively restored, preserving its original character and charm while giving it a new lease of life.
Finishing
Finally, we add the finishing touches — whether that’s painting, oiling or sealing, fitting new handles, hinges or catches, or simply giving the piece a final clean and polish. We make sure every piece is ready for modern living, giving it a new lease of life and a renewed sense of purpose, ready to be loved for generations to come.
Before and after
Each piece is carefully and sympathetically restored to preserve the character, charm and beautiful details that make it unique. The result is a truly individual piece of furniture, thoughtfully restored for
modern living and ready to bring warmth, personality and timeless style to your home for years to come.
