Description

Vintage Japanese elm and pine wood cabinet cupboard with two sliding doors and five drawers below. Made in the mid 20th century probably though it might be earlier. The drawers have black steel drop handles; the doors have shaped inset copper or brass handles. The sides are panelled. It has a dark stained finish, but the top had no finish, having once had another piece which sat on it; we've sanded and waxed it. Condition is pretty good structurally: it's solid enough and the doors and drawers work fine; the top was quite flimsy so we've put a supporting wooden bar underneath it. The interior base isn't super robust and has three separate planks which flex a bit; it's fine for most light to medium duty uses. One side panel has a knot hole. Cosmetically it has various scuffs, dings and marks though nothing much. Plainly it could all be stripped to the same colour as the top, presumably, but this is very much a You-job, not a Me-job :) Dimensions: 76cm x 52cm x 87cm high
