 FOR SALE : COMPLETE VINTAGE ENGLISH ROSE 1950S KITCHEN Extremely Rare Complete Vintage English Rose Kitchen
Available via eBay - click the website link BELOW. Auction Ends On 15 July 2010.
The Rolls-Royce and Holy Grail of post-war kitchens, English Rose units are built from industrial-strength aluminium, trimmed with stainless steel. Part of the appeal of English Rose is the quality and 'integrity' of its design and construction and the way it bolts together like grown-up Meccano. They also seem to last a lifetime - or two. When reconditioned, vintage "ER" kitchens look fantastic. Today's kitchens are big on 1950s retro style and English Rose is the real thing.
The first English Rose kitchen was made in Warwickshire in 1948 by CSA Industries, an engineering firm that originally made nose cones for Spitfires. After the war ended, CSA used stock-piles of aircraft-grade aluminium by diversifying into up-market kitchens. The original cost of a fully loaded kitchen when new would have bought a house at the time - they are the finest quality kitchens ever made. The profile of English Rose kitchens is rising rapidly thanks to screen appearances on BBC2's The Reclaimers and the 2004 Mike Leigh film Vera Drake.
This English Rose kitchen comes from a victorian manor house in Harrogate, UK and includes:
Three wall units (with side shelves) 215cm x 60cm x 31cm
Three base units 185cm x 89cm x 55cm
A two base sink unit (with added corner unit) 180cm x 100cm x 55cm
The kitchen is ripe for restoration with a little work needed (see photos). The sink unit is missing one door and has a slightly bent frame from its home removal.
A complete English Rose kitchen is extremely rare to come across, buy it now to secure a piece of iconic vintage history.
Available for collection from Harrogate, UK. Contact me before auction end for a courier quotation. Any Questions, feel free to send me a message! Price : Highest Bid or Buy It Now £1799

Hello
sorry to bother you.
I saw your kitchen on salvoweb. I'm afraid I don't want to buy it (great though it is!) as I'm building a later 60's kitchen.
However, if you sell the kitchen and the buyer doesn't want the sink, please let me know as it would fit in just right with my layout.
Thanks
Will

Hi
I have an Englsih Rose Kitchen very like the one you advertised for sale recently in Salvo, which I want to sell. I wondered if you would mind letting me know what success you had in selling it, price (i.e. did you get the £1799 you were asing?) and any advice if there is a particular company that buys these. Mine has a lot of units and the sink and all are in very good order.
Hope you can help, cheers.
