Attractive piece of furniture with twelve graduated drawers (w/replacement porcelain knobs) that are ideal for storage of small items, such as silverware, towels, candles, flat art, etc. This cabinet is multi-purpose and can be used in any room, with a top surface that could be used for lamps, display of family photos, sculpture or what have you(?). Three drawers are subdivided into cubbies; One is lined with red felt, the other two are numbered with antique gum labels.

Made of an unknown wood, it's well made using broad boards and square nails.

Measures 48"x 16.5"x 25". In "as found" farm fresh, age/use appropriate condition that's well illustrated in the photographs, including surface scuff/scratches, patina/color changes and losses due to gnawing. Original drawer pulls apparently replaced by porcelain knobs (as noted above).
