Project No. EP087 - ‘Kosmo’

Another extensively restored cabinet direct from our York-based studio by esteemed British furniture maker, ‘Beautility’ of London, dating from 1954 - yet its stunning refinish belies the 60+ years that have passed since. Its sleek design is accentuated by the choice of tola wood veneer that encases it, with its classic mid-20th Century lines reflecting contemporary tastes and trends beautifully. Featuring a ‘patent cocktail action with automatic lighting’ system (according to Beautility’s furniture range catalogue at the time) with mirrored and striped glass sections, glass shelf, with a pair of shelved side cabinets and handle-less drawers, it boasts plentiful storage space for bottles, glasses, and other entertaining paraphernalia. Externally, its original brass handles and inset brass trim complete the look, together with adjustable brass feet.

- the original lacquered finish has been completely stripped, then the exposed wooden surfaces carefully sanded to remove decades of wear; each dink and dent given careful attention. Several applications of a hardwearing, protective wax-oil have then been applied by hand highlighting the gorgeous striped grain of the West African tola. The angled edge to the top surface has been carefully stained with a dark walnut dye to mask the ply substrate beneath, helping amplify its stylish lines. The original brass handles have been removed, cleaned, and polished, whilst the door mechanisms, hinges, catches and feet have been cleaned and refinished with a gold gilding wax that really makes them ‘zing’ again

- internally, the mahogany-lined cabinets have been cleaned and refinished in a deep ‘black’ mineral paint, with a unique Jackson Pollock-esque ’splatter galaxy’ effect applied to the back panels, doors, and drop down drink-preparation shelf via a gorgeous gloss black enamel paint, contrasting beautifully against the more ‘matte' black of the mineral paint beneath. The removable wooden cabinet shelves have been refinished with wax-oil, and now contrast beautifully against their black surrounds. Further enhanced by the addition of new, toughened mirror sections to the cabinet bases, and a toughened glass protector to the drop-down shelf, every element has been carefully considered to provide a functional, unique, and stylish addition to your home entertaining experience. The legs and stretchers - originally ebonised - have been stripped and refinished in black mineral paint also

- the original light with contact switch is present and functioning well with a generous 2.5-metre long flex. The top handle-less drawer works perfectly as a space for storing your favourite wines horizontally, and for this purpose retains its original wooden divider - albeit is also refinished in the black ’splatter’ effect with a hand-stamped ‘EP’ wax seal to the drawer side. Additional storage is also available via the standard drawer beneath, with both drawer bases and sides having been thoroughly refinished

Condition report:

All of the furniture we sell is vintage or antique and has enjoyed a previous life. Whilst professionally refinished/restored, some minor or discreet signs of wear may remain, or other age-related indicators such as pitting to metalwork, or ghosting to mirrored sections may be present. Such minor imperfections only serve to add to the provenance and history of the pieces, but should you have any concerns about any aspect of condition, feel free to contact us here and we'll be only too happy to help.

Cancellations and Returns

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

We've extended our usual return period for the holidays. Any purchases made in December 2023 on gifting items can be returned up until 31 January 2024.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item’s Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason that they do not want to purchase the Goods before the Goods have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the customer’s specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the costs of delivery are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

Consumers based in the UK and European Union can request to return the Goods on Vinterior up to 14 days after the Goods have been received. Once accepted, the buyer is in charge of the shipment and should organise it as soon as possible (except in the case of a return of faulty Goods).

To initiate a return, the Customer must click on Create a return on the order page on the Site. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer’s specific requirements.

Additionally, the Customer may not return an item for "inaccurate listing” reason when its dimensions or other characteristics do not fit its requirements. We strongly recommend that buyer measures all access areas prior to making a purchase.

If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

In case of a return, the costs of delivery (i.e., outbound delivery costs when Goods are sent from the Vendor to a Customer) are non-refundable.

The Customer is responsible for organising the return of Goods and for paying delivery costs. Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt and refund the Customer. If an item is returned to the seller damaged, or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund and the seller may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged in transportation or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

In case of damage in transit for all items, Vinterior must be informed. Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf the Vendor with delivery company Proovia. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if it has been altered by the Customer in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

Price match guarantee

If you find the same item listed at a lower price (including delivery) elsewhere, we'll match it for you.
