The surface shows decades of authentic wear, revealing multiple paint layers, exposed wood, and naturally weathered textures that speak to its long utilitarian life. The cabinet is crafted with a classic Indian frame-and-panel body and retains its original glass doors, metal hanging loops, and brass handles. Inside, two fixed shelves offer functional storage and display space, with interiors showing the same naturally aged patina. This piece likely originated from a workshop or home setting, where it would have been used to store tools, household goods, or kitchenware. With its heavily distressed finish, compact proportions, and beautifully worn presence, this cabinet makes a striking display piece for modern interiors—perfect for adding character to kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, or retail environments. It may be used freestanding or wall-mounted via the original metal hanging tabs.
