The outer body impresses with its elegant design and the rare, honey-colored beer glaze—a traditional painting technique that imitates a refined wood grain through multi-layered glaze application and precise brushstrokes. This technique was particularly popular in rural areas where real hardwood was unavailable or too expensive, but stylish design was still valued. The cabinet is made in two parts, with an architecturally designed top featuring turned columns, carved shell ornamentation, and finely profiled doors with paneled panels. Material: Solid softwood with hand-painted grain in beer glaze technique
Dimensions in cm: H 170 / W 98 / D 54 Origin: Former Sudetenland - Originally used as a pantry or bookcase in a wealthy middle-class household, the cabinet is now ideal as a china cabinet or stylish stand-alone piece of furniture Features: Original craftsmanship around 1895 with fine profile frame, style-typical capital decoration and floral carved motifs Warm beer glaze on softwood ensures a characterful, golden shimmering tone with a beautiful age patina Wilhelminian period/historicism Condition: Very good, refurbished and well-maintained, age-appropriate and charming signs of wear See less
