Stock ref: DS1108
Circa 1970
A superb example of his craftsmanship. Rectangular with an adzed top, two lead glazed doors to the front with fixed lead glazed panels to the centre and sides. The rear is fully panelled in solid oak and two 6mm thick glass shelves are fitted internally.
Sid’s distinctive wrought iron door and hinge fittings. Stunning condition with no damage or repairs. The top in particular has been lovingly waxed at regular intervals and has a wonderfully deep shine and is free from any staining or scratches. The
only light marks are on the botton inner shelf which has a few light glass ring marks from normal use.
Excellent provenance, this particular cabinet is believed to be one of only two that Sid made in this configuration.
Size: 47″(w) x 14 1/2″(d) x 33 1/4″(h), 119.5 (w) x 36.5(d) x 84.5(h)
It is part of a substantial collection of Sid Pollard’s furniture i have acquired privately from the original local owner, who was a personal friend of his, and who had all the items made to order between 1970 and 1980. They are only reluctantly
selling due to emigrating shortly. Other items will be put onto the website shortly but for a brief list of the items included please click on the enclosed link to the News Page of
my website. Please contact me for further details.
Sid Pollard lived in Bagby, near Thirsk, and was one of Robert Thompson’s early apprentices. His solo work is almost always unmarked, preferring to be known for being unknown. After leaving Thompson’s he combined his solo work with the family building
firm, Pollard Builders. His solo work dates from the 40’s through to his death in the early 80’s.
With the equivalent Mouseman® display cabinet now retailing at over £3,000 this is tremendous value at:
