1930s bedroom furniture ? one large wardrobe, one small wardrobe, one dressing table with mirror


Beautiful bedroom set originally purchased in 1939.

Produced in London by FW furniture makers, probably of Hackney Road area.

Lovely art deco shapes and styling and grain in the wood ? oak veneer, I think and some solid oak.

A few period wooden hangers also included (see link for photos).


Main wardrobe: height 183 cm; width 120 cm; depth 50 cm

Small wardrobe (including labelled shelves so your man will know where to put his shirts and underwear): height 144 cm; width 80 cm; depth 48 cm

Dressing table: height 65 cm (main body) / 151 cm (including mirror mounted on top); width 127 cm; depth 63 cm (at centre) / 55 cm (on left/right sides)


Some minor scratching and damage to some of the edges of the veneer ? all well within what you would expect from original pieces from this era.


Lots of pictures here:

Selling reluctantly as it doesn?t fit the space in our new house. It?s all on the first floor at the moment in Forest Hill, SE23, and you will need to bring a van to move it. I can help to get the furniture downstairs and into your van but won?t be able to help move/install it at the other end


Selling as a set only - it would be crying shame to split them up after all this time.


OPEN TO OFFERS

    • It was Thistell and then Le Chardon.  It had a brief stint as Tart  then flooded, closed and reopend as Kartuli
    • The EDF is social media, and it seems to have met its goals of connecting and engaging the local community. The 'media' part isn't a reference to the BBC, it refers to 'a substance that something grows in, lives in or moves through' as a plural of 'medium'. In the sense that the 'something' is people, then it does the job. Whe it comes to the BBC, the 'something' is information. For the most part the contribution has been positive. However, the downsides are driven by anonymity, and have allowed the worst of human nature to surface.
    • I'm pretty sure it was still Le Chardon until 2008, maybe later. They also had The Green on East Dulwich Road, which is now Kokum. Service could be a bit 'French' in both places, but the food was good. It then had an incarnation selling quiches or something similar. It was a bit esoteric. The place where everything went against them was Saucy Chip, which was the old Curry Cabin. It's now Joe & The Juice. SE22 Bar was there before Franklin's, which I reckon opened just before the Millennium. I've got a vague recollection an (East) Dulwich Brasserie/Bistro or something similar around there at some point. The photo of the Dulwich Cafe above reminded me of when they changed the name and sign to 'Cafe Dulwich' to reflect how the area was going upmarket.  They didn't change the menu or decor at all. Just the sign.
    • 😥 Sorry, somehow my post above was duplicated instead of being merged with this one, and I can't delete all of the duplicated bits. Many moons ago, we used to have fairly regular "Forum Drinks", where forum members could meet up and get to know each other in real life. We met in a different local pub each time, and sometimes had sticky labels with our forum names on. A lot of those original people have moved away, but it has occasionally crossed my mind that it would be nice to start that up again and be able to put more faces to names (not that I ever remember either faces OR names)  Or maybe it is still happening but I'm kept out of the loop 🤣  Many of those pubs we used to go to have now changed out of all recognition, of course. Also there seem to be more families with young children in the area, for whom evening drinks would be difficult. I don't have time to do it, but if anybody else was up for organising it I'd be happy to help. It mainly involves deciding on a date, I imagine trying to get a rough idea of how many people would be interested,  and then booking a suitable sized space in a local pub and telling people about it on here  I don't know how it was arranged before, but maybe some of the longer standing forum users may know. I just used to turn up!
