19th Century Dry Scraped Swedish Cupboard

About the Item

Consisting of an upper and lower piece, this handsome 4-door cupboard boasts a one-of-a-kind finish. Layers of blue-grey and creamy white paint have been meticulously dry-scraped to reveal the natural wood beneath, leaving hints behind. Accented with crown molding, raised paneled doors, and beveled trim, the upper piece opens to reveal a single shelf. The lower doors open to reveal a single shelf on the left with 2 small drawers adorned with hand-turned wooden knobs nestled within, while the right side boasts a wide open space. The interior of the cupboard shares the same creamy white paint as found scraped away from the exterior, with the 2 drawer fronts having been dry-scraped. Ornate brass escutcheons and skeleton key are present at the door fronts. Resting upon simple feet, and having a simple, yet classic look, the cupboard is a great storage piece for any room of the home. Found in Sweden, 19th century New creamy white paint has been hand-scraped from the exterior of the cupboard to reveal the natural wood. The interior of the cupboard retains the creamy white paint. Dovetail joinery is present at the drawers. Interior drawers glide smoothly. The original hardware, locking mechanism, and key are present. Cupboard is strong and sturdy. Minor wood separation present at the door panels and back of the cupboard (not structural). Overall wear is consistent with age and use. Measures approximately 47.625” W x 18.5” D x 64.625” H.
