CONTINENTAL HEAVILY WORN AND CARVED ONE-DOOR CUPBOARD OF SMALL DIMENSIONS
Composed of 18th century and later elements, likely constructed in the late 19th/early 20th century | of fantastic proportions
Item # 403LFT18P
A super cool and heavily worn one-door cabinet of fantastic dimensions, this is a piece that can be placed anywhere. It is only 44 5/8" H, so there remains a great deal of vertical space over it in any modern interior - and the depth is only 14". A perfect cabinet for next to the front door where shoes and outdoor items can be stored while still looking absolutely gorgeous.
Not a collector type piece, this is a composition, meaning a craftsman during the late 19th or early 20th century worked with materials from the 18th and early 19th century to build something that would have all of the aesthetics of a very old object while still being able to create it in dimensions and function that worked for their clients.
The surface is rich with a silky patina and the wear that only comes from centuries of wear.
Measurements: 44 5/8" H x 14" D x 28 1/2" W
Condition Report:
Made up of old elements that have been salvaged from 18th and 19th century case pieces - very well done, probably during the late 19th or early 20th century. Wonderful old surface with heavily worn patina throughout: chips, nicks, blemishes, inactive pest damage, cracks, etc. Great old hardware.
