This is a wonderful and early Antique Old 19th c. American Folk Art Rustic Country Primitive Spice Cabinet, comprised of hand-hewn wood, some of which appears to be repurposed from old shipping crates of the era, carefully attached with numerous handmade notch cut tongue-and-groove joints, a similar but earlier variant of the dovetail joint, and a close variation of the shiplap joint. You can see various bits of writing on some of the wood slats, indicating their previous use as a commercial crate. It utilizes old brass joints and an iron pulley to open the cabinet door. This spice cabinet is quite sturdy, comprised of aromatic pine or cedar, and appears to be from the first half of the 19th century. There are speckles of old red paint and remnants of black paint as well, and it may have been previously painted a few times during its long life. Approximately 25 7/8 inches tall x 13 3/4 inches wide x 10 1/4 inches deep. The top shelf is 9 1/4 inches deep x 13 inches wide, and the bottom shelf is 9 5/8 inches deep x 13 inches wide. The small feet on the bottom are approximately 2 inches tall, and there is evidence that these feet may have been repaired or replaced at some time in the last 100 years (please see photo 23.) Acquired from an old collection in Los Angeles County, California, where this was found in the basement of an old home and was covered in an inch of dust and cobwebs. This beautiful and early spice cabinet likely dates to the 1840's - 1860's. Good condition for well over a century of age and storage, with some examples of wood splitting, edge wear, and paint loss throughout. If you like what you see, I encourage you to make an Offer.
