Project No. EP087 - ‘Kosmo’
Another extensively restored cabinet direct from our York-based studio by esteemed British furniture maker, ‘Beautility’ of London, dating from 1954 - yet its stunning refinish belies the 60+ years that have passed since. Its sleek design is accentuated by the choice of tola wood veneer that encases it, with its classic mid-20th Century lines reflecting contemporary tastes and trends beautifully. Featuring a ‘patent cocktail action with automatic lighting’ system (according to Beautility’s furniture range catalogue at the time) with mirrored and striped glass sections, glass shelf, with a pair of shelved side cabinets and handle-less drawers, it boasts plentiful storage space for bottles, glasses, and other entertaining paraphernalia. Externally, its original brass handles and inset brass trim complete the look, together with adjustable brass feet.
- the original lacquered finish has been completely stripped, then the exposed wooden surfaces carefully sanded to remove decades of wear; each dink and dent given careful attention. Several applications of a hardwearing, protective wax-oil have then been applied by hand highlighting the gorgeous striped grain of the West African tola. The angled edge to the top surface has been carefully stained with a dark walnut dye to mask the ply substrate beneath, helping amplify its stylish lines. The original brass handles have been removed, cleaned, and polished, whilst the door mechanisms, hinges, catches and feet have been cleaned and refinished with a gold gilding wax that really makes them ‘zing’ again
- internally, the mahogany-lined cabinets have been cleaned and refinished in a deep ‘black’ mineral paint, with a unique Jackson Pollock-esque ’splatter galaxy’ effect applied to the back panels, doors, and drop down drink-preparation shelf via a gorgeous gloss black enamel paint, contrasting beautifully against the more ‘matte' black of the mineral paint beneath. The removable wooden cabinet shelves have been refinished with wax-oil, and now contrast beautifully against their black surrounds. Further enhanced by the addition of new, toughened mirror sections to the cabinet bases, and a toughened glass protector to the drop-down shelf, every element has been carefully considered to provide a functional, unique, and stylish addition to your home entertaining experience. The legs and stretchers - originally ebonised - have been stripped and refinished in black mineral paint also
- the original light with contact switch is present and functioning well with a generous 2.5-metre long flex. The top handle-less drawer works perfectly as a space for storing your favourite wines horizontally, and for this purpose retains its original wooden divider - albeit is also refinished in the black ’splatter’ effect with a hand-stamped ‘EP’ wax seal to the drawer side. Additional storage is also available via the standard drawer beneath, with both drawer bases and sides having been thoroughly refinished
Condition report:
All of the furniture we sell is vintage or antique and has enjoyed a previous life. Whilst professionally refinished/restored, some minor or discreet signs of wear may remain, or other age-related indicators such as pitting to metalwork, or ghosting to mirrored sections may be present. Such minor imperfections only serve to add to the provenance and history of the pieces, but should you have any concerns about any aspect of condition, feel free to contact us here and we'll be only too happy to help.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 17th October 2024
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.
Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.
Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
