The surface features a richly colored and whimsical floral decoration in yellow, red, blue, green, and additional accent tones, set against a very dark blue to nearly black painted background. Traditional folk motifs are present throughout, including tulips and stylized flowers, giving the piece a lively yet grounded country character.
The cabinet includes a single upper drawer fitted with two brass pulls. The left cabinet door secures with an original interior metal latch, while the right door is held in place with a newer interior metal clip, as the original lock no longer functions. There are no keys. A carved and dotted scalloped skirt runs along the base, and the cabinet rests on block feet.
Age-related wear is visible throughout, including distress to the painted surface, particularly along the top, with areas worn down to the natural pine beneath. Cracks and age-related separation are evident along the sides and back, with old repairs visible in the rear. These characteristics are consistent with a painted pine cabinet of this age and contribute to its authentic folk art presence.
The piece has been restored for structural integrity and remains strong, stable, and ready for use. A wax finish has been applied, providing a soft, subtle luster that enhances the painted surface without diminishing its original character.
