Attractive Quality Oak Drinks Cabinet by Inglesants c.1920
Of super quality we have an English oak 1920s drinks cabinet by Inglesants of Leicester - maker’s badges to the inside of right hand side door and rear. Inglesants were high quality makers in their day - of a similar standard to early Gillows of Lancaster.
The cabinet is a rare piece and survives in lovely condition after a session in our workshop, it is certainly ready to enjoy. As mentioned the craft, design and quality is first rate. Very good use of fine timber with two decorative doors opening to one side with a pull out zinc lined “cellarette” for keeping bottles, ice etc chilled and the other side room for glasses or more bottles. We have a long drawer underneath which opens by way of the original brass drop knobs. Both doors have the original working locks and key. As mentioned the design is lovely with a clever use of a ”wave” like mahogany pattern to the top edge, ebonised emblems to the doors and well turned legs. Condition is good with light sensible historic wear.
A seldom seen and handsome piece in English oak C1920.
