EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1930s, we are transported back in time to the elegant interiors of a London department store. The focus of the image is on the Kinnear shutters, intricately fitted to the lift lobby openings of the unnamed store, which once graced the prestigious streets of the city. These shutters, manufactured by Kinnear & Co. Ltd., were a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship that characterized the era. Made of heavy-duty metal, they served a dual purpose: providing both security and fire protection. The rolling shutters were designed to roll up and down seamlessly, ensuring the safety and privacy of the lift lobby, while their fire-resistant properties offered an essential layer of protection against potential fires. The shutters' sleek, cabinet-like design complemented the store's interior, adding an air of sophistication and grandeur. Their presence created a sense of exclusivity, as if to suggest that the lift was a special, hidden treasure within the building. As we gaze at this image, we can almost hear the gentle clatter of the shutters as they move, and feel the weight of their solid construction. The photograph serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when craftsmanship and functionality were seamlessly blended to create beautiful, practical solutions for everyday life. This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of trade and industry during the 1930s, a time when London's department stores were the epitome of luxury and sophistication. The Kinnear shutters, with their unassuming yet essential role, played a crucial part in maintaining the allure and safety of these iconic buildings.
