These Victorian mahogany display cabinets were originally acquired by our Architectural Salvage department from a prestigious high-end jeweller in the late 1990s, shortly after, they found a new home in a Mayfair gallery in London.
Three decades later, they found their way back to us! The Mayfair gallery where they had been in use for thirty years was relocating and the gallery offered the cabinets back to us, still in fantastic condition.
They were expertly removed and transported by our skilled workmen to our West Yorkshire showrooms where they were rebuilt with a clean and polish and readied for resale. High-quality antique cabinetry such as this is very sought after, so it wasn't long before they were on their way again to another high-end retailer, this time Daniella Draper's flagship jewellery store in The Victoria Quarter in Leeds.
The cabinets now take pride of place in the store, perfectly complementing the luxurious and bespoke jewellery on display.
