Thanks to you that joined us last Tuesday for our very first Past Due Tuesday! If you are new and would like to participate in “PDT”, please follow the instructions below. We would love to have you join us!
Today, we again share another beautiful piece of furniture (can you tell we're furniture addicts?). In the five + years that we've been in business, this is the only cabinet like this that we've come across, so we're guessing that there aren't that many around. This cabinet has a center glass-front door with a hand cut, scrolly wood fretwork, a long drawer and turned legs. We love that it has 4 different designs of embellishments (top pediment, fretwork, recessed areas on either side, and pediment on the center support) and they all work together to keep things interesting! The two shelves inside are adjustable and could be for china or maybe some proud woman with a talent for sewing used it for showcasing a quilt collection. We guesstimate it's from the late 1930's - 1940's.

What a gorgeous piece of furniture. These old cabinets, chests and dressers are wonderful examples of the lost art of making beautiful AND useful furniture.
ReplyDeletePainting these old pieces white just brings out the lovely accents and "gingerbread".
