Designed as an all-in-one kitchen workstation, this fabulous piece offers a fascinating glimpse into domestic life of the period, with an abundance of thoughtfully designed storage and clever space-saving details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed predominantly from oak, the cabinet has a lovely warm, mellow colour, with beautifully figured grain and simple, elegant lines. The upper section features glazed cupboards with decorative etched glass panels, open shelving and a central compartment fitted with an original metal flour dispenser and egg holder. The inside of the upper cupboard doors retains the original printed Easiwork kitchen guides, a particularly charming detail that adds so much to the history and character of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow, a beautiful white enamel preparation surface with contrasting black edging pulls out to create a generous and practical workspace, neatly sliding away when not required. The cabinet also retains its wooden ironing board, another wonderfully ingenious feature of these early fitted kitchen designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower section provides an excellent arrangement of cupboards and drawers, including several unusual metal-lined storage compartments, believed to have been designed for keeping bread and other everyday kitchen provisions. One drawer features a particularly interesting fitted metal compartment, while a further cupboard retains its metal-lined base. These lovely practical details are a reminder of the care and consideration that went into the design of these early kitchen cabinets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso included are six Easiwork glass storage jars, complete with embossed metal screw-top lids, some retaining their charming original labels.

The enamel preparation surface presents particularly well, with some gentle signs of age remaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are a few historic woodworm flight holes, which have been treated, together with minor polished-in marks, scuffs and other signs of age throughout. These are all part of the authentic vintage character of the piece and do not detract from its overall appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease take a close look through all photographs, as these form an important part of the description and show the condition, original features and beautiful details more closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA truly wonderful and increasingly unusual piece of British kitchen furniture, offering both practical storage and enormous decorative appeal.
