whytock & reid cabinet on stand

Circa 1920, unusual cabinet on stand by Whytock & Reid of Edinburgh (makers stamp in two locations inside) which has been made from various woods. The top section has a long ebonised rectangular top with rounded corners and a gilded fore edge. Beneath this at the front are three doors with fielded panels which are veneered in coromandel wood. The beading on the doors is ebonised and the next section is painted red. Each of the doors open to show a variety of shelving combinations and have locks by Langebear & Co of Birmingham. The top section sits on a classic Whytock & Reid base with Lorimer influences. The base has been gilded and has a deep apron at the front with a Chinoiserie pattern. At each end are square tapering legs with a reeded section at the front and chamfered at the back. These are united by shaped cross stretchers which rise up and have an ebonised shelf in the centre, enclosed by a gilded frame. The cabinet finishes on very stylish Whytock & Reid feet. Unusual piece which is very stylish and top quality.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
