THIS SUPERIOR QUALITY 'GRIFFITHS', 'HAND-CRAFTED', 'MONASTIC', SOLID OAK FURNITURE IS STILL BEING MADE TODAY BY RUPERT'S SON 'NIGEL GRIFFITHS', WHO'S WORKSHOP / SHOWROOM IS NOW BASED AT THE OLD CHEESE FACTORY GRANGEMILL, DERBYSHIRE. EACH ITEM OF FURNITURE IS INDIVIDUALLY CRAFTED, WITH 'HAND-CUT' DOVETAILS AND IS PLANED, SANDED, CARVED, STAINED AND POLISHED ALL BY HAND. THE WINE CABINET HAS ATTRACTIVE OAK WOOD GRAINING THROUGH-OUT AND WOULD SIT NICELY WITH OTHER MATCHING ITEMS OF 'GRIFFITHS', 'MONASTIC', 'HAND-CRAFTED' SOLID OAK FURNITURE. THE CABINET SECTION HAS A MOULDED CORNICE BELOW AN ANGLED FLAT TOP. THERE IS A SMALL DOUBLE DOOR CUPBOARD SECTION BELOW THE 'OVER-SAILING' OAK TOP. IT HAS TWO FIXED, SOLID OAK SHELVES INSIDE, WHICH PROVIDE VERY USEFUL STORAGE SPACE FOR GLASSES ETC. THE TWO SHELVES HAVE ATTRACTIVE 'STRAIGHT-CUT' 'WAVY EDGE' DECORATION AND ARE SECURELY FIXED WITHIN THE SOLID OAK INTERIOR. THE TWO CUPBOARD DOORS HAVE SOLID OAK FRAMES, 'HAND-MADE', INSET, LEADED LIGHT, GLAZED PANELS AND THEY RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'HAND MADE' STEEL HINGES. THE DOORS ALSO HAVE DECORATIVE 'FLUTED' MOTIF CARVING TO THEIR FRAME TOPS AND VISIBLE 'PEGGED JOINTS' THROUGH-OUT, FOR ADDITIONAL STRENGTH. THEY ALSO RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL TURNED OAK DOOR KNOBS, SWIVEL DOOR LATCH AND BRASS DOOR CATCH, WHICH IS IN FULL WORKING ORDER. THERE IS ANOTHER SMALL CUPBOARD SECTION BELOW THE GLAZED CUPBOARD, WHICH IS IDEAL FOR STORING GLASSES AND BOTTLES OF WINE ETC. THERE ARE DECORATIVE 'CHOP-CARVED' BORDERS TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM SHELVES, WITH A SECRET DRAWER FIXED WITHIN THE TOP. THE SECRET DRAWER HAS NUMEROUS COMPARTMENTS AND IS LINED WITH IT'S ORIGINAL GREEN BAIZE FABRIC. THE 'DROP-DOWN' FRONT / DOOR HAS A SOLID OAK FRAME, WITH AN INSET OAK PANEL, WHICH IS DECORATED WITH 'GOTHIC' CARVED, HISTORICAL TAVERN MONK SCENES. THE 'DROP-DOWN' DOOR HAS SWEPT MOULDED BORDERS WITH A 'CUT-OUT' 'RING-PULL' HANDLE AT THE TOP. THE LARGE CUPBOARD SECTION AT THE BASE OF THE CABINET HAS A TOTAL OF TWO FULLY ADJUSTABLE SHELVES INSIDE, WHICH AGAIN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL STORAGE SPACE, FOR BOTTLES / GLASSES ETC. THE SHELVES ARE AGAIN MADE FROM SOLID OAK AND THEY BOTH HAVE ATTRACTIVE 'SERPENTINE' FRONT EDGES. THE TWO CUPBOARD DOORS HAVE A TOTAL OF TWELVE INSET OAK, 'FIELDED' PANELS, ALL SET WITHIN THEIR SOLID OAK FRAME-WORK. THEY ALSO HAVE DECORATIVE, SOLID OAK, 'HAND CRAFTED' LATCHES AND MATCHING 'HAND-BEATEN' 'GOTHIC STYLE' STEEL HINGES. THE CABINET HAS 'PLAIN-CUT' SOLID OAK SIDE PANELS, WITH NUMEROUS BEADED BORDERS AND IT IS RAISED UPON A TRADITIONAL PLINTH BASE. THERE IS A SIGNATURE CARVED NAIL TO THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE PLINTH BASE, WHICH IS ATTRIBUTED TO THE MAKER 'TOM SPENCER' ''THE NAILMAN OF BELPER''. THIS SUPERIOR QUALITY, 'FLEMISH', 'HAND-CRAFTED', CARVED OAK, CORNER, WINE CUPBOARD HAS BEEN CLEANED AND RE-POLISHED.
