Description

This is a fine example of the work of j.j.hill and son of willesden n.w.7. The cabinet makers works were at the yewfield road address for many years where hill manufactured the familiar institutional stacking cabinets which became much used by universities, museums, research units and, indeed, by private collectors.

This cabinet is one of their 'flagship' models which would have been produced with very much the private collector in mind.this example was made circa 1930.

The cabinet has twenty drawers all with closely fitted glazed frames to protect and display the contents. These are full continental depth and are papered and have corked bases. Re-papering can be facilitated by our workshop if required. This work carried out to the highest standard.

This is a very good and attractive cabinet with a solid mahogany paneled door. (the panel can be removed and the door glazed to show the drawers if required). Good sized drawers giving superb capacity. All in good condition.
