Vintage 1940s CC41 Stamped Walnut Cabinet by GW Evans

Dating from the 1940s, this seldom seen, British made piece by GW Evans comes with a great deal of old-fashioned charm and some thoughtful design details. There is an abundance of practical storage within this two shelf cabinet. Indeed, inside you’ll find two removable tray drawers, making it a handy piece for pretty much any room of the house from bathroom to kitchen to bedroom. Simple and unfussy, it can slot easily into a mixed style living space. It was ‘Commodity Controlled’ produced item of utility furniture, made to comply with the war-time and post-war austerity scheme. This was at a time when resources, like wood, were scarce but the demand for essential domestic goods like clothes and furniture was high as so much was lost and destroyed during the war years. Furniture had to be manufactured to strict commodity-controlled (hence CC41) guidelines between 1941 – 1951. Wonderfully crafted in walnut veneer, the glossy, golden finish is all original. We can forgive the odd knock and mark here and there as this is a piece of furniture that has lasted a lifetime but still has many more years of service to go.

Description

This original, used piece is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good, vintage condition. It has been checked and cleaned inside and out but otherwise the finish is completely original and as such it comes with some blemishes, knocks and chips which can be seen across our photos. The doors are securely attached with hinges, original brass handles and closures in good working order. Inside the cabinet are two removable tray drawers. These are well-made, slide easily and are in good, clean order as is the rest of the interior.  The original varnish finish on the exterior surfaces is a little knocked and marked here and there but overall it’s minor and in line with its considerable age and role. Do browse our photos for an accurate sense of its condition. It is well-made and CC41 stamped on the back along with the maker’s ‘GW Evans’ label. It is solid and stable with no repairs or areas of concern. If you’ve any queries whatsoever or would like to view this piece, do get in touch.
