The last one remaining of these original classic street signs now decomissioned from the streets of New York City. Our batch of signs sat in a storeroom and never made it onto the streets - they became surplus in 1999 when the decision was made to replace these NYC icons with an LED graphic version more suited to a culturally diverse populace. Made of cast-aluminium and vandal proof tempered glass, All are in the original NYC yellow.

These cabinets were made in 1905 for the Ceramics galleries on the top floor of the museum and have stood there untouched until their recent removal to our showroom. Each drawer has a removable glass top and the cabinets are panelled on the reverse so as to free-stand. We no longer have space for this so REDUCED TO CLEAR.

We have a few of these 1950’s metal plan chests salvaged from the Jawa motorcycle factory in the Czech Republic. Original hammered-metallic paintwork, white bakelite handles, lockable drawers & each cabinet bearing the ‘Jawa’ nameplate. Once employing a whole town, the legendary Jawa has now reduced to a work force of just 150, operating out of a small building at one end of the massive crumbling factory complex. Very little remains internally, but we were excited to find some of these plan chests in a small room on the top floor.
