Vintage 1950s kitchen cupboard with drawers and painted red top

Homemakers Community Recycling* is currently selling this lovely little vintage, floor-standing 50s kitchen cupboard. Its ‘buy it now’ price of £30 is very fair but they’re open to offers. And, if your not local to Abergavenny and/or you’re not able to collect, they’re happy to arrange delivery with Abbey Couriers (who we’ve used in the past and are very happy to recommend).

We regularly feature 50s kitchen cupboards on our Charity Vintage series. They’re very popular, we love vintage free-standing kitchen units, they’re practical, attractive, built to last and importantly – very affordable! If you have a small or awkwardly shaped kitchen, pieces like this one are perfect.

vintage 1950s/60s Formica sideboard for sale by & in support of British Heart Foundation(ends 15 Jan, 2015 20:01:57 GMT)

Vintage, free-standing kitchen furniture & fittings always go down well on our Charity Vintage series so we thought we’d highlight this 1950s/60s Formica sideboard.

It’s a great colour – a lovely soft yellow, however it’s in need of a good clean and spruce up. This is reflective in it’s starting price which is only £39.99.

It measures 940mm high x 1580mm wide x 540mm deep and has oodles of useful storage space and work surface. It’s for sale by a British Heart Foundation* charity shop based in Bradford – which is fairly local to us. Unfortunately we just don’t have the room in our Picture House Antiques pitch at the moment or we’d be interested ourselves!

*British Heart Foundation is the nation’s heart charity. They help save lives with information, patient care and pioneering research. With your support, they’re beating heart disease for good.



Charity Vintage: Kitchen cupboard

vintage kitchen cupboard for sale on eBay for Charity by & in support of North Devon Hospice(ends 26 Jun, 2014 21:02:18 BST)

Our kitchen is, for the most part, free-standing. We have a couple of overhead, wall mounted cupboards and the sink unit is housed in a fitted unit with doors beneath. Other than that, we have open shelves, a couple of butcher’s blocks, food safe and a 1950s kitchenette.

This vintage, free-standing kitchen cupboard with enamel top is being sold by & in support of North Devon Hospice*. It’s just the kind of thing we’d have in our house. A pair of drawers for storing the cutlery and below double doors to shelves for plates. It needs a little cosmetic work – a good clean and new paper or oil cloth lining for the drawers and shelves. The opening bid is £75 and the buyer must collect.

*North Devon Hospice aims to be the centre of excellence for the provision of palliative care for the people of North Devon and to be the main point of contact for health care professionals requiring support with complex problems in palliative care.
