Originally built into the fabric of the school, this remarkable piece has been carefully removed, professionally restored and thoughtfully repurposed, preserving both its rich history and distinctive character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from solid pitch pine, the cabinet features twenty individual storage compartments arranged in two rows, each retaining its original lift-up door, numbered Bakelite label and solid brass knob. Designed to provide practical, organised storage for generations of pupils, the cabinet is a wonderful example of early twentieth-century institutional craftsmanship, where durability and functionality were paramount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring an impressive 274cm in length, its long, low proportions make it an incredibly versatile piece for contemporary interiors. The beautifully restored pitch pine displays a deep, warm patina, with the natural grain and subtle signs of age telling the story of its decades of service. The original numbered Bakelite labels and solid brass knobs remain throughout, adding authenticity and celebrating the cabinet’s educational heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving originally been built into the walls of Blackfen School for Girls, this is far more than a piece of vintage furniture—it is a genuine architectural salvage item with documented provenance. Today, it lends itself perfectly to life as a statement sideboard, media cabinet, hallway console, retail display or kitchen storage, combining exceptional practicality with a unique sense of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in \u003cstrong\u003eexcellent restored condition\u003c\/strong\u003e, the cabinet retains the honest character expected of a piece of this age while being ready for everyday use. We have added a new plywood back to the piece and ensured all doors open and close as they should. Its clean architectural lines, outstanding craftsmanship and remarkable provenance make it an increasingly rare find, offering a unique opportunity to own an authentic piece of British educational history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fbPhotosPhotoCaption\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hasCaption\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fbPhotosPhotoCaption\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hasCaption\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fbPhotosPhotoCaption\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hasCaption\"\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWidth: 274cm (across top) 276cm (across plinth)\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 68cm \u003cbr\u003eDepth: 40cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInside Compartments:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 31cm\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 31cm\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 23cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA truly one-of-a-kind piece, combining architectural heritage, beautiful materials and timeless design\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fbPhotosPhotoCaption\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hasCaption\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"userContent\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eThe room setting images are AI-generated for styling purposes only.
