Made by British manufacturer, Turnidge of London, in the early 1970s, this is an unusual, freestanding piece. Tall and shallow, it will tuck into a nook or alcove with ease and it’s the perfect cabinet for showcasing precious treasures and trinkets with a top section of glass-fronted, mirror-backed display shelves. Down below is a generous drawer and cupboard with a pull-down door. This also features a mirrored back and, coming from Turnidge, was no doubt designed to house your drinks collection with a mixing area at the front – they were most renowned for making wonderful home cocktail cabinets and bars. A really well-made piece that’s got masses of retro charm but this doesn’t necessarily mean it needs to find a midcentury-themed home. Its design and wood tone is actually fairly neutral and unassuming so it will slot in alongside older or more modern furniture.
