Original Midcentury 1970s G Plan Fresco Tall Shelf Unit with Drawers

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 three drawer chest with the signature sliding 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.

Description

This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good – very good, used condition. We have checked, cleaned and polished this piece, applying a natural beeswax polish to the exterior wood surfaces but otherwise the finish is original. It’s a two part, freestanding piece where the upper section simply sits on the base. Brackets are supplied to attached the top the the base for stability and peace of mind. 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 three drawer cabinet, again in very good order. The drawers are very well-made have clean interiors and secure handles. There are very minor knocks and scuffs here and there on the exterior wood but nothing to flag. Please do browse through our photos. The G Plan red logo can be found on the top of the upper section. It’s solid, stable and well-made.
