About the Item
A beautifully timeworn primitive cabinet with a strong wabi-sabi presence, raised on distinctive sledge feet—a feature often found in earlier vernacular furniture. Built from thick, wide planks with a deep, authentic patina, the surface shows honest age: visible grain, shrinkage lines, old cracks, and wear consistent with long use.
The cabinet has two separate doors (upper and lower) with hand-forged iron strap hinges and simple round knobs. At some point in its life the doors were rehung in reverse; we have since returned them to what appears to be their original orientation, allowing the cabinet to present as it was intended while preserving its historic character. Inside, a fixed shelf creates two practical storage compartments—ideal as a small pantry cupboard, bathroom cabinet, or entryway storage in a calm, minimal interior.
Condition
Good antique condition consistent with age and use. Expected surface wear, marks, old splits/cracks, irregularities, and patina to the wood and ironwork. Doors were previously rehung and have been returned to the presumed original orientation. Structurally solid and stable. Please review photos for details.

Worldwide shipping available. Professionally packed. Shipping quote on request.
