    Looks like a 1950s institutional display cabinet/bookshelf. The sides are not glass, so I'm thinking books. The step back form with the base is actually quite a bit older....I don't think I've ever seen one this "modern."
    I hope you can clean up the finish; it's an interesting - and functional - piece.

    I note you are in the UK.

    This looks like a 1960's wall cabinet that is chipped and splattered in paint.

    I throw better than this in the tip.

    £130 Profile ? really.


    I would need to rent aircraft hangars to store this stuff, just the same as your utility furniture.

    If you thought my comments were wasteful and unhelpful then don't ask in future.
