Description

IF YOU REQUIRE A CABINET OF SUPERLATIVE QUALITY FASHIONED IN BEAUTIFULLY FIGURED RICH MAHOGANY THEN THIS IS THE ONE.

THIS FINE CABINET ON STAND IS A RARITY FROM MESSRS JANSEN. NATURALISTS. GT RUSSEL ST, LONDON W.C. JANSEN'S PREMISES WERE OPPOSITE THE BRITISH MUSEUM AND I CAN REMEMBER, AS A CHILD, BEING TAKEN THERE AND FINDING THE TREASURES WITHIN ALMOST MORE APPEALING THEN THOSE IN THE MUSEUM AS THESE COULD BE BOUGHT ALTHOUGH, OF COURSE, SIXPENCE POCKET MONEY DID NOT GO VERY FAR!

THIS CABINET RETAINS IT'S ORIGINAL STAND, (FROM WHICH IT CAN BE LIFTED), AND IS MADE ENTIRELY OF SOLID MAHOGANY. THE BACK OF THE CABINET AND STAND ARE POLISHED TO THE SAME FINISH AS THE FRONT MEANING THAT THE CABINET MAY HAVE ONCE STOOD ALONE IN STUDY OR CABINET ROOM.

ALL FEATURES OF THE CABINET MAKING ARE OF THE VERY HIGHEST QUALITY AND EQUALLED BY VERY FEW MAKERS IN MY EXPERIENCE. I ABSOLUTLEY COMMEND THIS PIECE.

20 DRAWERS OF SUPERB CONSTRUCTION, ALL MOVING LIKE SILK ON HIDDEN BEARER RUNNERS, ALL WITH VERY CLOSELY FITTING GLAZED FRAME TOPS AND ALL CAPABLE OF RECEIVING PINS UP TO AND INCLUDING 37mms.

THE CABINET BEARS JANSEN'S IVORINE TRADE PLAQUE TO THE DOOR AND ALL HINGES, SHOOT BOLTS, LOCK AND KEY ARE ORIGINAL AND FULLY OPERATIVE.
