made of natural soft spruce wood with a
hydrangea blue interior and
blue accents on the exterior, dating from around 1880–1890,
in a rustic country house style.

the cabinet consists of an upper and
lower section and was already
blue on the inside; i simply
refreshed it and added the blue accents to the exterior.
the panes in the upper doors
are still original old cast
glass with the typical irregularities
and glass inclusions.

the left doors are hung using old
metal hooks into the metal eyelets on the
shelves and closed that way.
the right doors have locks that
still work.

overall dimensions:
w 110 x d 52 x h 210 cm
upper section height = 113 cm
lower section height = 97 cm

condition:
the cabinet is in very good
condition, despite all the age-related
wear and tear on the rustic softwood.
but that is precisely what gives it
its charm.

in the pictures, the cabinet
looks a bit "crooked," but it isn’t!
it was my mistake for not holding
the camera quite straight. See less
