This superb hand-crafted English-made piece is a fabulous example of furniture distributed by Buckley & Nunn (Melbourne & London).  Buckley & Nunn was a store established in Melbourne in 1851 as a drapery store and, in its heyday, competed as a department store with Myer (1900). They occupied a succession of buildings in Bourke Street until they were taken over by David Jones in 1982.  It features;

  • Solid walnut timber construction
  • circa 1900
  • exquisitely hand-carved
  • 5 bevel edge mirrors
  • turned mirror-back supports
  • suspended shelves
  • central bow-front cabinet
  • 2 bevel edge glass display doors
  • complete & matching brass loop handles
  • 3 locks, 1 key
  • 2 fixed height level timber shelves (removable)
  • suspended shelf base
  • 2 pieces for easy transporting
  • Makers stamp; Buckley & Nunn, Melbourne, In stock 1890

Condition overview; in good condition, relative to a piece of this age, there are no cracks in the mirrors or glass and all of the locks and doors work well.  As expected on a piece of this vintage, it displays general wear, knock and surface marks but nothing major to note.  In addition, there is minor spotting to the bottom right-hand side mirror.  

Dimensions; 1220mm wide x 410mm deep x 2025mm high, to the top of the base cabinet; 1020mm high.  Internal shelf height clearances from top to bottom (both glass display cabinets); 315mm, 225mm x 270mm deep.  Central cabinet – 550mm high x 330mm deep.
