Antique F. Sage & Co Mahogany Shop Display Cabinet

A fine early 20th century bow-ended display cabinet by F. Sage & Co. Ltd., London, dating from around 1910 and most likely made in the years immediately before the First World War. The cabinet has a mahogany frame with beautifully curved glass ends and a full-height glass door to the back. Internally, there are three curved cut shaped glass shelves, each following the bowed form of the cabinet and supported on adjustable metal brackets, allowing the shelf heights to be changed as required. The interia features lovely oak parquetry floor, made up of contrasting timbers arranged in a geometric pattern and bordered with curved bands that follow the shape of the cabinet. The whole piece is raised on four square tapered legs. The cabinet retains its F. Sage & Co. Ltd., London maker’s plaque, together with Sage-marked door furniture, helping to confirm its origins. The original brass handle has developed a good surface and patina through age and use. The cabinet also retains its original glass, which shows some scratches and general surface wear consistent with its age and previous commercial use. A very elegant antique display coiner with excellent visibility from all sides, it would work particularly well for displaying jewellery, objects, ceramics or smaller collections within a retail, gallery or domestic interior. We also have another very similar F. Sage & Co. display cabinet available in oak.
