The heavy-duty steel factory cabinet of rectangular shape, the one-piece carcass displaying the wonderful original jade green paint now taken on a superb time worn appearance and craquelure, the doors each with the original handles opening to reveal three internal shelves, the whole surviving from the second quarter of twentieth century England.

The cabinet is in decorative as found condition with no major flaws or deficiencies to note. The doors do shut as intended though are a little stiff.

Useful, practical, edgy and timeless are all words that express what industrial furniture has come to mean and like traditional antiques they improve with age and the distress that comes hand in hand with their daily use.

Just the most stunning texture and colour and in a versatile size.
