Antique Pitch Pine School Storage Cabinet Lockers 0508b
IN STOCK: Regular price £1,295.00
A wonderful original 1930s pitch pine school storage cabinet, salvaged from the former Blackfen School for Girls. Originally built into the fabric of the school, this beautifully proportioned piece has been carefully removed, professionally restored and thoughtfully repurposed, preserving both its history and distinctive character.
Constructed from solid pitch pine, the cabinet features a series of individual lift-up storage compartments, each retaining its original numbered Bakelite label and solid brass knob. Designed to provide practical, organised storage for generations of pupils, it is a fine example of early twentieth-century institutional craftsmanship, built with durability, functionality and longevity in mind.
The cabinet has been professionally restored, allowing the rich character and natural beauty of the pitch pine to shine through while preserving the subtle signs of age that make each piece unique. The original numbered Bakelite labels and solid brass knobs remain throughout, celebrating its authentic educational heritage.
Having originally been built into the walls of Blackfen School for Girls, this is far more than a piece of vintage furniture—it is genuine architectural salvage with documented provenance. Its versatile proportions make it ideally suited as a statement sideboard, hallway cabinet, kitchen storage, media unit or retail display, bringing both exceptional practicality and a fascinating story to any interior.
Equally at home in contemporary, country or industrial-inspired spaces, the cabinet offers a rare combination of beautiful craftsmanship, original features and authentic provenance. Pieces of this quality and scale are becoming increasingly difficult to source, making it a truly distinctive addition to any home.
Presented in excellent restored condition, the cabinet retains the honest character expected of a piece of this age while being ready for everyday use. We have ensured all doors open and close as they should by adjusting individual hinges and catches. 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.
A unique piece of British educational history, thoughtfully restored and reimagined for modern living.
