COLLECTING YOUR ORDER

Please note that large furniture and bulky items are available by delivery only.
A truly original antique solid elm cupboard, salvaged from an old school and over 100 years old. Simple, beautifully proportioned and full of the character that comes with a long working life, it offers useful storage without overwhelming a room.
Two drawers sit above a pair of cupboard doors, with an internal shelf providing practical storage for tableware, documents, books and everyday household pieces. The solid timber top also makes a natural place for a lamp, favourite ceramics, artwork or collected objects.
The elm has developed a wonderfully aged patina, with variations in grain, gentle surface wear, old markings and the occasional trace of its former classroom life. These details have been preserved rather than disguised; they are part of the history and individuality of each piece.
We have more than one cupboard available, all reclaimed from the same classroom in an old school. As they have spent their previous life together, the cupboards are very similar in appearance, with beautifully consistent timber tones and matching finishes both inside and out.
There are two slight variations in size, so please select your preferred dimensions from the options when ordering. Subtle differences in grain, markings and signs of age will naturally vary from cupboard to cupboard, making each one individual.
Material: Solid elm
Age: Over 100 years old
Provenance: Reclaimed from an old school classroom

Antique Character
As genuine antique school furniture, these cupboards bear the honest marks of more than a century of use. Surface variations, historic markings, knocks and gentle wear are inherent to their character and should be expected.
If purchasing more than one, we recommend selecting matching dimensions where available if you would like the cupboards to sit alongside one another.
