Turnidge

by Marlies
(Red Deer)

I have received a glass fronted curio cabinet with the metal label of "A Turnidge Product attached. The glass front is bowed and there is an 8 pointed asymmetrical "star" etched on the glass door front. The inside back and bottom is gold cloth or foil.

I have seen a few similar cabinets on the internet but cannot find any information about the actual manufacturer.

Does anyone have any information about Turnidge?

The company moved to Sudbury Suffolk where they used Teak Veneer .The top man there was Derek Eastom a staunch Ipswich supporter.I know because I supplied them the veneer and also went to Wembly with Derek when they beat my team Arsenal.

Turnidge bar
by: Anonymous

I just purchased a beautiful Turnidge liquor cabinet/bar. The curved glass and all glass shelves inside appear to be intact. The piece is in wonderful condition. The handles on this piece appear to be Bakelite, with the handles on the solid cabinet front are placed at an angle.

Any idea of valuation?

Hi, I have just become the proud owner of a turnidge sideboard/writing desk/drinks cabinet and I would love to know if anyone has any idea what age it would be or even what wood it is made of. Absolutely love it, it's like G Plan but with more individuality. Hope someone can help!! and a message to Rick, your grandad was a genius, just love his designs.

Dating Of Display Cabinet
by: Valerie From Australia

I have a wanted to know about my Turnidge display cabinet for a while. I am very pleased to find this website with information given by the Manufacturer's Grandson. I have the Turnidge name in metal inside at the top of the door of the cabinet. I wonder if it is possible to date it. The interior has a gold material back and bottom with two glass shelves. It is quite a neat cabinet. I think it is mahogany with quite a dark stain, front and side glass panels. The front has an Art Nouveau design in thin curved wood dividing the glass into segments. No other embellishments. Good condition.

Turnidge Cocktail Cabinet
by: Gail

Is Turnidge still trading in any form? I also have one of these cabinets, but without any circular cut-outs for bottles on bottom shelf, and without tray (that goes in door). I was wondering if there were actually drinks cabinets of this make without the bottle inset as I think that this cabinet was bought, from new, by my father and there don't appear to be any signs of one being there. Also, is it possible to obtain a tray from this period that will fit in the door?

Turnidge Liquor Cabinet
by: Paul A Becerra

I purchased a Turnidge cabinet in an antique store in San Diego, CA. It is a great piece because to look at it when closed up, one would not guess it is a bar. When the sides are swung into position and the top is unfolded out, the piece becomes a semi-circular bar with a see through piece of glass set into the walnut surface. Their are two shelves and eight circular cut outs at the bottom for litre bottles. I had a piece of blue colored mirror cut to fit the top shelf. The cabinet can be accessed via the locking doors in front, or the full length sliding glass doors in back. In this way, it functions as a casual front access piece when closed, or a more formal rear accessed piece for entertaining. The design is vaguely deco and moderne. It bespeaks both indulgence when opened and discretion when closed.

Cocktail cabinet
by: Bev T

Hi- I am trying to find the value of a Turnidge cocktail cabinet that belonged to my late mother and who might be interested in buying it?
It is in fair condition and stil locks-my mum loved it but sadly it does not fit in our home.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

reply to Turnidge furniture query
by: Rick Bühler

Brady Tableworks, W G Turnidge Ltd., Turnidge of London Ltd., Were all companies owned by ny grandfather, Mr William George Turnidge. who died in 1963. The company was then trading from 508, High Road, Leytonstone, London E11. (prior factories were in Bethnal Green and Walthamstow - both in London) The cabinet you describe sounds like one that was produced through the 1950's and if I recall correctly the "gold" cloth that you describe would have a slight floral pattern on it.

Hoping this comment has helped you
