An original petite early 20th-century shop display counter, constructed using a combination of solid oak, mahogany, and pitch pine.
The counter features a shaped moulded base supporting a bow-ended display case, framed in brass-toned wood and fitted with a discreet hinged access panel to the rear. The slender legs terminate in decorative feet, adding neoclassical note to the overall design.
Its relatively compact proportions suggest the counter was originally intended for specialist retail use such as a jeweller’s, perfumery, or boutique. The scale and elegance point toward a display-led piece rather than a heavy working counter, designed to sit comfortably within more intimate space.
