A stunning Vintage haberdashery cabinet with nine drawers and a cased glass display space with two perspex sliding doors. The wood grain showcases that it has been beautifully restored and sealed. This item has the label "Leon Manser (pty) Ltd".
The cabinet arrived with the top glass shattered, but it has been replaced and now fits perfectly within the original, stunning aluminium frame. The exterior sides, previously in poor condition, have been carefully stripped, smoothed, and sealed with a sleek black finish that beautifully contrasts with the natural wood tones. This versatile cabinet offers multiple uses:
- As a kitchen island providing storage
- As a shop display, it showcases items with an attractive vintage flair
- In the bedroom, it serves as a stylish chest for clothing or accessories
The meticulous restoration process, including stripping, sanding, and sealing with an oil and water based product that ensures durability and a sleek finish. The combination of natural wood and the black accents makes it a timeless addition to any space. The legs are also unique making this piece a bit different that the usual haberdashery units.
In very good restored condition. The two small slidable perspex doors do have some wear consistent with age and use, not cracked or broken.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item/s description. Although all efforts have been made to refurbish our furniture to represent its original state best, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. For this reason and although restored, signs of their vintage condition & age might still be visible. We will typically point out any visible/notable concerns. Take note of all photos or view the item in-store prior to purchasing.
As with most Mid-Century pieces and a hallmark of the era, it is a combination of solid wood and a high-quality wood veneer. Veneer has a rich history in furniture design, is admired for its craftsmanship, durability, and aesthetic appeal and is a long and honorable tradition. The quality of the veneer's artistry was long-lasting; for this reason, it can be retouched or sanded and refinished.
