A modest piece of oak furniture having “The Two Cheeses” logo on the inside of the lower cupboard by the Utility Furniture Advisory Committee.
The Utility Furniture Advisory Committee set up in 1942, drawing on considerable expertise, principally Gordon Russell and Ernest Clench, also Herman Lebus and John Gloag, in order to assure that the scarce available resources were used in a sensible way. New furniture was rationed and was restricted to newly-weds and people who had been bombed out, under the "Domestic Furniture (Control of Manufacture and Supply (No 2)) Order 1942" operative from 1 November 1942. The CC41 mark. The same logo was used for Utility Furniture as had been developed for the Utility clothing scheme: two capital letters C's and the figure 41, for "Controlled Commodity 1941" (which soon became known as "The Two Cheeses".
It’s a simple set up - two long drawers with a two panelled door cupboard underneath. This one is in great condition for its age with no repairs, no wobbles and only a few marks and scratches to the top.
A smashing bit of English vintage furniture that will not break the bank and with the ability to be plonked into most spaces home or commercial!
Dimensions – Overall: Height 123.5cm x Width 84cm x Depth 48cm
