Herbert E. Gibbs Vintage Glass Cabinet #72230

This glass cabinet was designed in the mid-century by British manufacturer Herbert E. Gibbs.

This slim type is ideal for displaying books, tableware, collections, etc. The warm brown wood grain is impressive. It is a practical yet vintage piece that shows the maker's attention to detail, and goes well with Scandinavian antiques.

After the war, modern Scandinavian design became very popular, and Scandinavian-style furniture began to be made in the UK as well. The UK's high level of technology and production capacity, which had a foundation in traditional furniture making, made it possible to produce high-quality furniture. Representative British manufacturers include G-PLAN, which was one of the first to adopt Danish design, and the long-established Scottish manufacturers AHMcIntosh and Nathan. There were also many other excellent Scandinavian-style furniture manufacturers. Scandinavian-style furniture made in the UK during the mid-century period is still highly regarded today for its quality and design that is comparable to authentic Scandinavian furniture, and has become increasingly popular in recent years.
