Antique Display Cabinets with Over a Century of Stories

 

 

This week, we welcomed a remarkable collection of antique display cabinets into our London shop. These stunning pieces are bejewelled with a rich history, having been sourced from a traditional jewellery shop in Devon, where they were first installed back in 1903.

 

 

 

For over 120 years, these cabinets witnessed the life of a bustling high street business, but, sadly, the shop recently closed its doors—a sobering reminder of the challenges faced by independent shops today.

 

 

 

As much as we regret seeing them leave their original home, we’re honoured to help ensure that they find new owners who appreciate their timeless craftsmanship and imposing elegance.
