1930s vintage metal cabinet by the Milner Safe Co, Liverpool
A superb 1930s vintage metal cabinet/cupboard by the Milner Safe Company, Liverpool. Milner was renowned for its safes, strong boxes and steel equipment with a showroom in London and factory in Liverpool. This type of well engineered heavy gauge metal cabinet would most probably have originated from a government building where only the best quality furnishings would suffice. The eye-catching blend of burnt orange paintwork against a natural build up of oxidation is a colour that can only occur through time and that is what makes this such a stand out piece. The quality of the cabinet is only accentuated by the original, wonderfully patinated heavy gauge oval brass handles that lock solidly into the mechanism to the back of the door along with the brass lock (no key) and brass ball tipped hinges.
Condition: The oxidation to the cabinet is to the surface only with no thinning to the steel and without doubt will last another 100 years. The cabinet has been waxed & sealed to retain its natural beauty.
