antique kitchen shelf, circa 1850,
in dark walnut with light
sage green + decorative details,
restored into a one-of-a-kind piece. In person,
the cabinet looks absolutely charming and much
more beautiful than i can show
in pictures.

the cabinet is made of rustic
natural wood and was already
stained dark. At the bottom are 2 doors with a
shelf. Above the doors,
the cabinet is open with a
narrow and a regular
shelf. The shelves are
recessed into the sides and
cannot be adjusted.
at the top, the roof is flat behind the
crown and can also be used as a storage
or display surface.

refurbished with freehand painting,
as was customary in the mid-1800s and earlier.

dimensions are:
w 89 x d 43 x h 165 cm (center),
h (side) 154.5 cm
the standard depth of the shelves is 37 cm,
the narrow top shelf is 15 cm.
the intermediate height measurements of the shelves are:
narrow top shelf: 25 cm,
front height 42 cm
center top height 30 cm
bottom inside, top 32 cm, bottom 35 cm

condition:
the cabinet has many small, old dents
and nicks that are simply part of such a
rustic cabinet. There are also a few
small areas of missing wood on the sides
and back, but these
are not at all bothersome. The cabinet
is made entirely of solid wood, is very sturdily
mortised and tenoned, and will surely last another
300 years.
the doors were likely added to the cabinet
at a later date.
i replaced the old rusty door hinges
and also installed new door panels.
the cabinet is now in beautiful
move-in ready condition. See less
