Canningsheridan cabinet

If you've been inspired by BBC Four's current series 'Art Deco Icons' and want to get the look for your own home, you may be interested in Canning and Sheridan's Golden Age collection which includes the Central cabinet, featured above. 

Inspired by the glamour of the 1930s, it's a multi-doored angled cabinet made in a choice of either natural or dark stained palisander. There's also a choice of handles – natural brass, or for full on Deco-style, chrome. This cabinet is 125cm high and costs an eye-watering enough £8995 but if you are thinking really big there's a larger size available too for £11, 495. Rather appropriately that model is called the Grand Central.
