Delivery & Collection
Most mainland UK locations are covered by our standard £65 furniture delivery service, with a reduced local delivery rate of £30 available within 15 miles of Bourne End SL8.
Some remote or harder-to-reach areas may require a different delivery charge, so please check our Delivery Information page before ordering or contact us if unsure.
Furniture deliveries are carried out by one-man couriers, so assistance will usually be required to help unload the item at delivery. Delivery is generally to the door, although some drivers may assist further at their own discretion.
We aim to deliver most furniture items within 10 working days, depending on location and courier routes.
Collection is also welcome from our Bourne End showroom:

A More Sustainable Choice
A More Sustainable Choice
Choosing antique and reclaimed furniture is one of the most sustainable ways to furnish a home.
Older furniture was often built using solid timber and traditional craftsmanship designed to last for generations, rather than a few years.
By giving these pieces a new home, you help reduce demand for mass-produced furniture while keeping beautiful, characterful items in circulation for years to come.

Dimensions
Condition
The cupboard is in authentic antique condition, showing significant signs of its long history (please review all photos):
- Historic Woodworm: There is evident historic woodworm damage, particularly to the side panels and internal shelf supports (see detail photos).
- Panels: There is a prominent vertical age split (crack) in one of the door panels and further light cracking to the side panels due to natural wood shrinkage over time.
- Surface: The fruitwood shows various historic scuffs, scratches, staining, and indentations consistent with a century of domestic use.
- Build: Structurally sound and functional. The doors hang well and the adjustable shelf mechanism is in working order.
Description
Crafted from solid fruitwood (likely cherry or plum), this cupboard showcases the honest, robust construction characteristic of French provincial design. The twin doors feature recessed panels and are fitted with decorative scrolled iron escutcheons and an original working key.
The interior is highly practical, fitted with fully adjustable wooden shelves, making it ideal for use as a linen press, larder, or hallway storage unit. The wood possesses a lovely light-to-medium honey tone with a natural, un-fussy finish. Standing on simple block feet with a chamfered top edge, this piece offers a timeless, "shabby chic" look that fits perfectly into both period and modern country-style interiors.
