Original Midcentury 1977 G Plan Fresco Tall Shelf Unit

Designed by VB Wilkins for G Plan, as part of his late 1960s / early 1970s Fresco range, this freestanding, multi-functional unit serves as storage and display space in one handsome piece. Tall but shallow in depth and tidy in width, it would work well in a small room where going up is better than going wide. This particular set up features an upper glazed bookcase, an open shelf and a lower cupboard with the signature Fresco handles.  It’s a two-part piece with the upper section sitting on the deeper base. These versatile units offer more flexibility than built-in shelves and are great in alcoves or those recesses next to a chimney breast.

We have checked, cleaned and polished this piece, applying a natural beeswax polish to the exterior wood surfaces but otherwise the finish is original.

The upper section features a double door, glazed bookcase with an adjustable shelf inside. The doors are in very good order, slide easily and the interior is in a great order. Below this is a further open, adjustable shelf. The base section features a cupboard again in very good order. There is a further adjustable shelf inside. There are very minor knocks and scuffs here and there on the exterior wood including some small chips and nips on the sides as shown. Please do browse through our photos. The G Plan red logo can be found on the top of the upper section and inside the cupboard. There’s a further E Gomme label on the back date stamped 1977.  It’s solid, stable and well-made.
