WE FIND MORE AND MORE THAT COLLECTORS OF HUGELY DIVERSE ITEMS FROM MEDALS TO SILVER SNUFF BOXES, ETC, ETC, ARE TURNING TO THIS MEDIUM TO HOUSE THEIR COLLECTIONS. THE COMBINATION OF WELL MADE VICTORIAN HARDWOOD FURNITURE AND VALUABLE AND BEAUTIFUL ITEMS WORKS VERY WELL!
BEHIND A PAIR OF GLAZED LOCKABLE DOORS THE CABINET HOLDS A VARIETY OF DRAWERS. THE TOP SIX ARE WIDE AND HAVE GLAZED DROP IN FRAMES WHICH CAN BE REMOVED AND STORED IF NOT REQUIRED BUT ACT AS SECURITY AND DUST PROTECTION FOR THE COLLECTABLES WITHIN.
TO EACH SIDE OF THESE LONG DRAWERS ARE PULL OUT DISPLAY CASES, AGAIN WITH GLAZED FRAME TOPS.
THE NEXT SECTION CONSISTS OF TWO STACKS OF DRAWERS TOTALING 12 IN NUMBER AND BELOW THESE THERE IS A FULL WIDTH OPEN TOPPED DRAWER WHICH ALTHOUGH HAVING A PAPERED AND CORKED INNER BASE, WOULD HAVE SERVED TO HOUSE 'SPECIMENS IN TRANSIT' OR COLLECTING EQUIPMENT THEREBY MAKING THE CABINET A 'COLLECTORS COMPENDIUM'.THE DRAWERS MIGHT BENEFIT FROM RE-PAPERING, A SERVICE WE CARRY OUT TO THE VERY HIGHEST STANDARD ON REQUEST.
THIS CABINET IS GOOD LOOKING, HIGHLY VERSATILE, BEAUTIFULLY PROPORTIONED AND REASONABLY PRICED. ALL QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME AND WE ARE PLEASED TO MEET POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS AND CLIENTS AT OUR DEDICATED SHOWROOM, THE CABINET OFFICE,IN THE COASTAL VILLAGE OF HARTLAND IN NORTH DEVON.
