About the Item

Rare English early 20th century, mahogany and glass display case with fabulous curved glass and a unique glass top which allows for natural light, as well as two adjustable glass shelves. Beautifully scaled with unique air-tight locking system. Note: there is one locking handle! Makers label: The founder, Frederick Sage (1830–1898) was born at Freston, a small village near Ipswich in Suffolk, the son of the village carpenter. Following his father's profession, he showed great ingenuity when young, for instance designing a velocipede to make it easier to sell small items of joinery he had made around the neighbourhood. After working for local firms of builders, his ambition took him to London in 1851 where for three years he continued working for builders, studying in evening schools to remedy his lack of education. Having married, and finding work hard to come by, he started his own shop fitting business in 1860 in Hatton Garden.
