Victorian Solid Oak Glazed Display Cabinet

As part of the restoration process, the cabinet was carefully dismantled and reassembled to restore any structural issues that may have developed over time and ensure functionality for a few more generations. Every joint was assessed and repaired using traditional joinery techniques and period timber where necessary, and the entire piece was refinished by hand. The top section has been extended at some point in its life, a detail visible on the sides, and retained as part of the cabinet’s history. As always, our work is guided by respect for the original maker, for the character that has developed over more than a century, and for the way the piece will now be used. The additions made, from the interior shelving to the brass fittings, are deliberately quiet, designed to serve the piece rather than reinvent it, and to allow it to move comfortably between its past and future context.

What remains is a tall, elegant cabinet, an exemplar of proportion and simple refinement with a strong and calm presence. Its shallow depth and upright proportions make it particularly well suited to living rooms, studies or transitional spaces where storage is needed without visual heaviness. The glazed upper section is perfect for displaying books or collected objects, while the lower cupboard offers generous concealed storage beneath. The rhythm of the glazed doors, the soft lustre of the timber, and the balance of original and considered additions give the bookcase an easy authority, the kind of presence that settles into a space without ever insisting on itself.

UK deliveries:

We offer White Glove delivery as standard for larger pieces within England, Wales, and Scotland (excluding Northern Ireland), carried out by Empire Delivery. Once your order is placed, please allow 5 to 7 days for us to prepare and arrange collection from our workshop. After collection, delivery is typically arranged within a further 5 to 7 days.

Smaller items, such as mirrors and trays, are sent by courier and are usually delivered the next working day after collection. Free warehouse collection is also available by appointment.

International deliveries:

Smaller pieces are shipped with DHL under Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) terms, meaning all import taxes are prepaid and nothing is due on arrival. Larger items are securely crated using high-density foam, bubble wrap, and OSB crates to ensure safe transit. International shipments typically take 5 to 15 days from dispatch to arrive.

Shipping costs are calculated and displayed at checkout based on the size, weight, and delivery address.

For US customers:

All US orders are shipped under Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) terms, which means import taxes and duties including the latest tariffs are included in the total at checkout. However, due to ongoing uncertainty around tariff rates, if there is a significant increase between the time your order is placed and the time it is dispatched, we may need to settle the difference before shipment. In such cases, we will either issue a corrective invoice or revert to Delivered at Place (DAP) and refund any duties already paid. If you have any questions about customs charges or how DDP works, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to assist.

We take great pride in the craftsmanship of every piece we create and offer a lifetime warranty on the structural integrity and functionality of all our work, covering frame stability, joinery, and overall construction. This warranty does not cover wear and tear, accidental damage, or issues caused by improper care or use.

We also offer a lifetime buyback guarantee. If you ever wish to part with your piece, we would be pleased to buy it back, restore it, and return it to circulation, ensuring it continues its life as part of a thoughtful and sustainable cycle.

Returns:

If you would like to return an item, please contact us within 30 days of delivery. Returned items must be unused, in their original condition, and in their original packaging. Pieces made to custom dimensions are non-returnable, unless faulty. Standard pieces remain eligible for return under our 30-day policy.

If something is not quite right, we will always offer to repair or resolve the issue first, as we want every piece to be loved and enjoyed for many years. If a repair is not possible, we will arrange collection at no cost to you. For standard returns, return shipping is the customer’s responsibility; however, if you would like us to assist with collection, we are happy to help by arranging this for you where possible and deducting the cost from your refund. We recommend using a tracked and insured service if you are returning a piece independently, to ensure it arrives back with us safely. Refunds are calculated and processed within 5–7 days of inspection.
