About the Item

Antique French Limed Oak Cabinet, of massive proportions. We seldom, if ever, find a genuine Antique French, circa 1800s Cabinet, of such grandeur. Our Old Plank workshop, completely disassembled and rebuilt all the joints, before the Antique French Cabinet, was sent into the finishing department. The Liming process alone, required almost 300 hours of highly skilled labor, to complete the transformation of this Antique French Bookcase. Fully adjustable shelves, with wooden peg construction. The Limed finish, actually looks like it was done decades ago and it might be best described as a, "dirty old limed finish", for all to often, they end up looking like nothing more than bleached wood. The Antique French Cabinet or Bookcase, has a wonderful and natural looking patina. Measures: 12' long.

Antique French Deux Corp 'Cupboard' in Original Finish from Chateau Unrestored
Located in Chicago, IL
This extremely rare, Antique French Cupboard, is from the Château de Loyat in Brittany, which I believe dates back to the 1500, was in a condition, that Antique dealers can only dream of. The French Cupboard or Cabinet, is exactly what you would expect, a 300-year-old antique French Cabinet to look like, if no one ever touched the finish, let alone restore the Antique Cupboard. Our opinion is, that this Antique French Cupboard or Cabinet, could have been made in the late 1600s or early 1700s and if I did not know that this Cupboard was made from French White Oak, one would have thought it was constructed of iron, based on its weight. Our centuries old French Cupboard, was constructed without the use of any nails or glue, for the entire Antique Cabinet was assembled using wooden pegs. Our Old Plank restoration department, has just completed a 240-hour conservation procedure, wherein lieu of just replacing the old worn wood oak boards, we chose to harden them and only used small fillets of antique French Oak for repair. Yes, this became a labor of love, but for us, to find an antique French Cabinet, in this virgin untouched state, is quite rare nowadays, so, the choice was made to conserve, rather than restore, which required triple the labor.
