Antique Folk Art Primitive Countertop Painted Wood Showcase Display Case
This is an antique primitive Folk Art countertop painted wood showcase/display case. I would estimate it dates circa 1890s or early 1900s, but it could be even earlier. It measures 23 inches tall at its highest point (58.4 cm). It measures 15 inches wide by 7 1/4 inches deep (38.1 cm x 18.4 cm). This piece is definitely handmade. It has an incredible primitive feeling to it. The wood looks like it was hand cut all over. I’m fairly certain the paint on it is original. As you can see in the photos, about 20% of it has worn off over the years. It has one wooden shelf in the middle which is permanent. Not too long ago, someone installed two small lights in it. You may want to leave these in or take them out. The very top center piece has a crack going through it, but it is still intact. There is a small piece of wood that holds in the glass missing in the top left corner of the door. It’s still held in tightly. It has its original brass latch on the door and side. If you like old painted primitive pieces, I think you’ll really enjoy this. It weighs 9 pounds 15 1/2 ounces (4.52 kg).
