Having a simple molded apron in the front, rustic unfinished sides and back that showcase it's primitive craftsmanship, solid wood construction, and utilitarian design.

The top and the front feature the original cream white hand-painted finish, enhanced by heavily worn, beautifully distressed, chippy paint patina.

Drawers: top 16.5” wide x 6” tall
Middle: 34” wide x 8” tall

Having the ideal size and proportions for a variety of different uses, including as an oversized bedroom commode - dresser, dining sideboard buffet, credenza media stand, primitive kitchen island, or even as a retail display - storage cabinet in a boutique clothing shop.

Great original antique / vintage condition. Strong, sturdy, stable, and structurally sound. Presents well, with beautifully aged patina over the whole. Unfinished back and sides. Retaining original antique character marks throughout, heavily worn, faded, naturally distressed finish with scattered nicks, chips, and chippy paint finish losses. Nothing that detracts from the aesthetics or functionality but only adds to the elegant rustic warmth, relaxed classic comfort, and rich historical charm that can only be acquired over very long periods of time.
