This classic two-part form features a tall open plate rack above a base fitted with three drawers, all supported by elegantly turned legs and joined by a lower potboard shelf.

The upper section is composed of wide, hand-planed pine boards with simple, well-proportioned shelving—ideal for displaying ceramics or collections. The base showcases a scalloped apron, turned supports, and original brass hardware, all contributing to its understated yet highly decorative presence.

The reverse reveals wide plank construction and early fastening methods, further confirming its 19th century origin. The drawer interiors and secondary woods show expected wear consistent with age and use, adding to the authenticity collectors seek.

Versatile in scale and function, this piece works equally well in a kitchen, dining room, or as a statement storage piece in a living space. Its natural finish and patina make it especially appealing for both traditional and more relaxed, modern interiors. See less
