For Info:

These cabinets and shelves were removed from the lounge in the famous Sea Lane House. 

Sea Lane house is an Art Deco house built in 1936, which was designed and built by Marcel Breuer. The furniture inside was also designed by Breuer. 

The house is now grade 2 listed and was the only house built in the UK by Breuer.

The house was constructed with brick and concrete, and items for sale here are believed to have been designed and made specifically for the building.

Marcel Breuer briefly studied art in Vienna before joining the Bauhaus in the 1920s. First a student and then a teacher, he became head of the celebrated furniture workshop. On leaving the Bauhaus, Breuer practised as an architect in Berlin before fleeing the Nazi regime and moving to London in 1935, where he stayed for two years. In 1939, he was invited by Walter Gropius (the founder of the Bauhaus and former teacher of Breuer) to work at Harvard University.
