AAFA FOLK ART ANTIQUE WOOD CABINET CUPBOARD OLD WHITE PAINT SQUARE NAILS EARLY. Up for sale is this old antique 2 door cupboard/cabinet. This a cute sized cabinet with great character. It’s probably from the early 1900’s or maybe 1800’s and would make a great little side cabinet or accent piece. It’s a nice white white color with some green undertones and the paint is in places chippy, old and worn with great patina! Inside it’s a cream color with black edges on the shelves. On the doors, there is this cute little handprint in black on the inside of each door. The sides and front are white with awesome patina, crackled paint and green undertones under the chippy white paint areas. The top may have been painted but is worn and not painted now, perhaps from years of wear and use. It’s stained and cracked, spotted and partially painted. There are square nails in the top and back as you can see in the pictures. Some are even rose-headed a little on the back. The back is made up of 6 old boards and a rusty old metal repair that was used to cover a mousehole as you can see on the inside pictures. What a great look!! As for the hardware, the hinges are little Shaker style hinges and are a little rusty. There’s a latch and loop on the front that keeps the doors closed although not tightly. It’s very unique and one of a kind! It’s a super sweer size and could go just about anywhere, like in a bathroom, hallway, end table, etc. As mentioned, there’s some paint loss, nicks, scrapes, scratches, worn edges, deteriorated wood, and dings. All of these “issues” are just as you’d expect from an item of this age. This is a great cabinet! 33″ W x 15″ D x 29.25 H. The wood is thick and is 1 thick at the legs and it weighs a 48.

Early Antique Folk Art Railroad Train Wood Cabinet Original Paint Square Nails

Posted on March 17, 2019 by admin

ANTIQUE OLD RAILROAD TRAIN WOOD WALL CABINET ORIGINAL DRY PAINT SQUARE NAILS! Up for sale is this very nice old wall cabinet. It’s aged and worn in all the right Primitive ways! It has one door and lots of shelves inside, with some that are removable. The cabinet was made with square nails as you can see from the closeup pictures. The nails are in the top. It has heavy old Shaker style hinges and hardware with a wooden door pull. We think that this probably dates this cabinet to the 1800’s and perhaps it was an old railroad cabinet. We don’t know the age of this cabinet so you make the call. The door has a big crack in it on the front, and there are some scrapes, nicks, and cracks in the top of it (although you can’t see the top if you hang it on the wall above eye level). The color is a dark drab grey-green color. And the paint has alligator-ed, crackled and patina-ed over time. It makes it very nice and unique looking. Simple, classic but old looking. It’s a railroad cabinet. How do we know? It has 5 old tour/railroad schedules that come with it and there are’rules and regulations’ that appear to be for the Railway Express Agency on the inside of the door. The documents on the inside of the door are very tired, worn and age. Some you can barely read. But the tour/railroad schedules are in great shape and very clear. There are two (4) day tour tickets from July 1st to July 4th, 1950 to Buffalo, NY while the three (5) day tour tickets are to Milwaukee, WI on July 2nd to July 6th, 1947. They both are for the singing group called the Swiss Harmony, which was a male vocal group, and they were traveling from Hudson County to these locations. You can see the train schedules below. Inside the tour tickets, you can see the “tear off” coupons for lunches and dinners. Don’t forget your tickets! The cabinet has some damage on the back where the wood splintered or broke, maybe when somebody took this off the wall or something, we’re not sure. Someone tried to put some newer screws in the back to hold the back on to the cabinet. The back is still loose in some places. There are also some newer smaller shiny nails trying to hold the back on. There are a lot of old round rusty nails in the back also. Who looks at the back anyway? It is a wonderful and one of a kind! The cabinet measures 36.5″ H x 31.5″ W x 11.5″ D at the top and 10.5″ D at the cabinet part. It weighs about 42 lbs. It’s a nice-sized. Cabinet and would be able to be hung on the wall or set on top of a cabinet. We don’t know the age of this item but it looks early to mid 20th century to us. There are nicks, scrapes, small cracks, dings, and worn paint/stains as you can see in the pictures but nothing you wouldn’t expect from an item of this age. We will do our best to answer your questions. Thank you for looking at this item. We have a number of new items so check out our other items. We will handle them on a case-by-case basis. We will do the same. We couldn’t sell anything if it wasn’t for you and the time you have taken to spend looking at our items. As a very small business we strive to keep you as our customer!

21 L ANTIQUE PRIMITIVE WOODEN TRENCHER DOUGH BOX ORIGINAL RED AND BLUE PAINT. Up for sale is this wonderful, old, beautiful wooden trencher dough box. It is rectangular in shape with canted sides with little inlet wooden handles on each end to carry it by. It doesn’t have a lid and likely did not as this one is painted inside with a wonderful Primitive blue-grey, almost a robin’s egg blue in places, color. Sometimes the ones with the painted insides didn’t have lids, that’s why they painted the inside. The color is a beautiful Primitive, almost Ox Blood, red color with wonderful patina, age marks and character marks. Wow, we love the look and all the patina! It looks to have been made from old crates. We can see some crate writing on the side of the box but we can’t read it. It looks in part to say Knudsen’s but we’re not sure. We tried to show this in the last picture. Measures 21.5″ long (at the top) and 17.5″ long (at the bottom) x 9.5″ wide (at the top) and 8″ wide (at the bottom) x 9.25 high measured to the rim. It weighs about 5 lbs. It’s a wonderful, more petite size! This will make a great conversation piece. There’s some nicks, chips, surface imperfections, scrapes, discolorations, fading and edgewear as you can see in the pictures. These “imperfections” add character! It has many character scratches to the interior and spotting or differences in color from age and use. Look at the color, WOW! Inside it’s painted and there are wear marks where the paint has come off. It’s got patina from use on the inside too! The bottom of the box has a crack in it as you can see in the pictures. It’s very clean inside. We have tried to show all of this in the photos. Please look at the photos for a more accurate description and detail.
