Mid century oak Staverton bookcase haberdashery cabinet 1953

 

Outstanding oak pigeon hole cabinet made by Staverton, South Devon who manufactured furniture for government buildings, crown courts and hotels

 

Made from oak & oak veener with solid wood feet, has five compartements with slide up drawers and working freely

 

Inside there are three pigeon hole shelving compartments ( pigeon hole shelving could be removed easily but would leave a groove in the shelves)

 

Solid brass handles and door furniture, hinged timber to the right which stops the drawers from opening - has lock but no key

 

Stamped with makers mark with crown and dated 1953 on the back

 

Has been cleaned and in excellent vintage conditon, a couple of minor veener chips and some veener missing to the top left side ( in the photos), minor bumps and scrapes & evidence of wear which commensurate with age, structurally very sound
