About the Item

- A beautifully presented glazed haberdashery shop counter of smaller proportion, England circa 1940. - Glass top and sides over a flight of eight graduated oak fronted drawers and with original brass handles, ideal for a bedroom, hallway or living room environment. - Well-made custom joinery of the time, the counter supported by a solid frame structure which houses all of the eight drawers and a plinth base to the bottom section, dovetail construction to each drawer and a beautiful thin frame to house all of the glass. - The drawers are well worn with somewhat of a golden patina, there are the usual marks, scratches and the odd chip from years of use in a shop display setting. The glass is all beautiful, one tiny blemish to a corner which cant be seen under the wood and seal, please also note this is a heavy and delicate piece of furniture. - Attributed with makers label to the base 'Withy Grove Stores Ltd Manchester'. Haberdashery cabinets were designed for a retail environment, efficiency was key, and thus featured beautiful window-fronted drawers. Retailers would have easily been able to see what’s within each drawer, and swiftly retrieve the item customers wanted. Unlike other traditional sets of drawers, classic haberdashery drawers have a unique appearance, they are often crafted from solid, high quality woods, and are durable, strong pieces of furniture designed to stand the test of time.
