Vintage 1940s CC41 Tall Oak Bookcase Cabinet
This British-made oak piece is a handsome vintage catch. Dating from the 1940s-early 1950s, it comes with bags of old-fashioned charm and character. There's a lot of practical storage for your book collection or treasures behind two sliding glass doors, along with a generous cupboard below for those things you don't want on display.

Small Vintage 1970s G Plan Fresco Chest of Drawers
From their flagship ‘Fresco’ range produced in the 1960s and designed by V.B. Wilkins, this small, teak chest of drawers is a Brit midcentury classic. The waves of grain across the drawer fronts are beautiful. It’s a well-crafted piece of furniture, and its compact, low stature will ensure it fits easily into any modern home. We think it would make a super bedside chest for those who need something a little larger than a nightstand. Free local delivery / Fast UK delivery / Collection welcome...

Set of Four Vintage Early 1950s Dining Chairs - Newly Reupholstered
Dating from somewhere between mid-1940s to the early 1950s, this set of four dining chairs comes with a good dose of vintage charm and character, but brought up to date with fresh, new upholstery. They were ‘Commodity Controlled’ produced items (you can see the CC stamp underneath each chair), made to comply with Britain's war-time and post-war utility scheme. This was at a time when resources, like wood, were scarce but the demand for essential domestic goods like clothes and furniture conti...

Vintage 1960s Bookcase Cabinet by Criterion
These midcentury, glass-door bookcase cabinets are really useful, non-fixed storage solutions for things you might want on display - favourite books, ceramics, trinkets and treasures - but with a generous cupboard to one side for items you'd prefer to have stowed away. Slender in depth at just 26cm, it doesn't jut out into the room. It can sit discreetly against the wall or behind another piece of furniture like a chair or sofa. We love the golden wood of this particular piece by Criterion of...

Compact Vintage 1960s Teak Extending Dining Table
A classic midcentury teak dining table. Round, tapered legs, gently curved sides and a beautiful grain across the table top, it's robustly made for every day dining. We believe it's a British-made table by Dalescraft but we've not been able to definitively attribute it. Regardless, it's handsome and well-constructed with the extension section residing underneath when not in use. What we love about this particular table is that its proportions are actually very neat when not extended at just a...

This dresser with its two-over-three drawers provides a huge amount of storage space. Its original, wipe-clean melamine top, white with a discreet...

Set of Four Original 1960s Ercol Model 400 Windsor Dining Chairs
A rescued quartet of early 1960s Ercol Windsor dining chairs, we have stripped and restored them as sensitively as possible without removing their character and life. They come with bumps and knocks still but we love their rustic, old fashioned charm. Their design is smaller and less fussy than the later 400 Windsor models. With just four back spindles and a more compact seat width, their proportions are neat so ideal for a smaller table. Ercol made furniture to last and the fact these chairs...
