Attractive Quality Oak Drinks Cabinet by Inglesants C1920

Of super quality we have an English oak 1920s drinks cabinet by Inglesants of Leicester - maker’s badges to the inside of right hand side door and rear. Inglesants were high quality makers in their day - of a similar standard to early Gillows of Lancaster.

The cabinet is a rare piece and survives in lovely condition after a session in our workshop, it is certainly ready to enjoy. As mentioned the craft, design and quality is first rate. Very good use of fine timber with two decorative doors opening to one side with a pull out zinc lined “cellarette” for keeping bottles, ice etc chilled and the other side room for glasses or more bottles. We have a long drawer underneath which opens by way of the original brass drop knobs. Both doors have the original working locks and key. As mentioned the design is lovely with a clever use of a ”wave” like mahogany pattern to the top edge, ebonised emblems to the doors and well turned legs. Condition is good with light sensible historic wear.

A seldom seen and handsome piece in English oak C1920.

Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.
