1920s Waring & Gillow sideboard - ?40


Recommended Posts

This is a beloved Waring & Gillow sideboard but it doesn't fit in our planned renovation scheme. It's a solid, really great quality item that has served us well.


It has quite a few fine scratches on the top and signs of general wear and tear, but you can only really see them if you're right up next to it. The doors open and close easily, the drawers are smooth, and it looks beautiful.


You're welcome to come and see it prior to purchase. Also, I can send higher resolution photos if interested.


Pick up only in Peckham/Nunhead.


Price ?40 (a steal - we're just keen to shift it fast!)

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
