Delivery options for this heritage oak cabinet by handmade cabinet makers, Reynolds of Ludlow.

Made in the 1960s, this oak corner cabinet is little changed in concept, design and style from the original wood furniture which emerged from the British Arts and Crafts movement at the turn of the Twentieth Century.

'Let the Wood Speak for Itself' is a fundamental principle of makers in the Arts and Crafts tradition. Combine this 'truth to the materials' which underpins a love of wooden furniture, together with Quaker values of simplicity, honesty and respect for the craftsman's skills, and this Reynolds piece is a presentation of British excellence in furniture making through the years.

This oak corner cabinet is made of solid, beautifully figured oak. The top half has two glazed doors with two small, simple brass rings for opening. The base of the unit has a single panelled door with a single brass ring. Both sections have fitted shelves behind. The cabinet bears the metal label Reynolds of Ludlow, the furniture making business created by cabinet maker Arthur Basil Reynolds in Ludlow in the 1940s.

The cabinet is 175cm tall, 76cm wide, and two sides fitting to corner are each 53cm deep.

In good, original condition - bearing gentle ring marks and memories of ownership collected over 60 years - this cabinet is a quality addition to your traditional and heritage home.

Suited for interior design styles Mid Century, Modern, Craftsman, Mission, Eclectic, this piece would sit easily at home in cottage, townhouse, or estate.

To own an Arts and Crafts piece is to continue our most precious values of dignity and integrity expressed in our surroundings.
