A charming early 20th century oak drinks cabinet, dating to the late 1920s and retaining a wonderful sense of period character. The cabinet features glazed double doors opening to a fitted interior, complete with shelving, pipe rack, two small drawers, and a dedicated compartment housing a cut glass decanter with stopper.
Crafted in solid oak, the piece has a warm, rich tone with attractive grain throughout, complemented by simple yet elegant hardware. The interior layout is both practical and visually appealing, making it ideal for use as a compact bar cabinet or display piece.
A particularly interesting feature is the original brass presentation plaque mounted to the top, engraved:
“Presented to Superintendent D.G. Morris of the Glamorgan Police E. Division Athletic Club on his retirement March 1929.”
This adds a strong layer of provenance and historical interest, tying the piece to a specific individual and moment in time.
Condition is good overall for age. There are light surface marks, minor wear, and age-related signs of use throughout, consistent with its age. The glass panels are intact, the doors open and close well, and the interior remains clean and functional. The decanter is included and presents nicely.
Measures approximately 39cm wide x 30cm high x 23cm deep (15.4" x 11.8" x 9").
A highly decorative and characterful piece that fits perfectly with current “old money,” vintage barware, and heritage interior trends. Ideal for use as a small drinks cabinet, desk-top bar, or display piece in a study or living space.
