Description

A fabulous understated early 20th century countertop display cabinet by J.C. King Ltd, London, defined by its clean lines and balanced proportions.

Crafted in rich mahogany, the cabinet has a warm, depth of tone that contrasts elegantly with the lightness of its fully glass structure. The simplicity of the frame allows the materials to take centre stage, glass, timber, and brass working together in a quietly refined composition.

Glass on all sides and top, the piece is designed to maximise light, creating a sense of openness while subtly framing the objects within. The original brass latch adds a subtle industrial note, a reminder of its origins as a purpose-built retail display, while the stepped base grounds the piece with a sense of weight and presence.

The original glass top shows light surface scratching consistent with age and use.
