This unique antique display and storage cabinet, standing approximately 8.5 feet tall, features an arched bonnet top, which overhangs as a canopy, extending out further than the cabinet below. The upper section of this piece has two glass paneled doors with shelving behind, perfect for displaying goods. The lower base of the cabinet projects out further than the top half and incorporates a work-space at it's top, which is supported by brackets at either far side. Two recessed panel doors open to reveal an open space on the left, and two small sized drawers at the top right, with cubbies beneath. This cabinet is raised on bracket style feet, created by the rhythmic scalloping of the skirt, along it's front and sides. Coloring is in grey hues with a pale green/grey accent trim. This early 19th century American shop cabinet will make a glorious statement piece, perhaps in a kitchen displaying wares, and cookbooks, or maybe within a study to showcase collected objects from around the world. less
