1920s Oak Mirrored Shop Display Cabinet

1900 - 1920
Description

A wonderfully practical piece of early 20th century shop furniture. Made from oak stain in a deep red mahogany fish this shop display cabinet dating dates from around early 1920s perhaps late 1910s , wit has ith a mirrored back and adjustable glass shelving.

The cabinet has a tall, simple design with a moulded cornice and plinth. To the front is a pair of tall glazed doors with softly rounded upper corners, giving the cabinet a slightly more streamlined appearance while retaining its traditional commercial character. The doors are fitted with decorative brass turn handles and original-style brass hinges.

Inside, the cabinet is fitted with a mirrored back and a series of adjustable glass shelves, supported on timber runners running up each side. This would originally have allowed the shelf heights to be altered depending on the goods being displayed.

The cabinets generous height and narrow proportions make it particularly useful for displaying jewellery, accessories, ceramics, silverware or other smaller objects.

The front glazing is currently missing. The interior also has later LED lighting fitted for additional illumination.

The glass shelves are original and have scratches.

Designed during the 1920s for retail environments, these cabinets featured expansive glazed doors, adjustable glass shelves, and mirrored backings to maximise product visibility and reflect ambient light.

Crafted predominantly from hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, these cabinets utilised polished plate glass shelves, mirrored rear panels, and brass catches or latches to ensure durability under daily retail use.

Authentic commercial pieces display characteristic operational wear, original brass latches, solid timber joinery, and internal shelf-support racks cut directly into the timber frame or fitted with metal ratchets.

In contemporary settings, these tall cabinets function effectively as curio displays, dining room china storage, or bathroom linen cupboards, offering vertical storage with open sightlines.

Clean timber surfaces using a soft cloth and natural beeswax, while glass panels and mirrors should be cleaned with non-ammonia formulas applied directly to a microfibre cloth to prevent moisture damage to silvering.
