Italian Rustic Boatyard Mechanic Cabinet with Tools Original Paint Unrestored

About the Item

Workman’s Cabinet found in an Italian Boatyard made in the mid-1800s and in absolutely untouched original condition, even down to the carpenter’s tools. When we started in this business on a professional basis, about 25 years ago, finding “real” Original Paint Cabinets were not all that uncommon, but today it is almost impossible. Sometimes you will see the descriptions; Paint enhanced, or touched up, but this Antique Italian Cabinet is exactly as it was when purchased in Italy. We added a lock and a hook catch just so the doors would close, but basically that is all it required and of course a decent cleaning. Even all the glass and chicken wire is correct, so for those of you who can truly appreciate an untouched all Original Paint, such as ourselves, it just does not get any better than this. No problem in stalling matching patina shelves.

  • Antique Cupboard from Ireland Great Patina Unrestored Original Paint, C1800's
    Located in Chicago, IL
    The Antique Cupboard that was removed from a home we believe may have been in Scotland. The Antique Cabinet, or Cupboard was located in Ireland, but upon cleaning out the Antique Painted Cupboard, we found receipts from the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland dated 1967. Certainly not definitive, however, the cabinet is absolutely from the British Isles and more than that, is the fact that no one has attempted to restore, or worse yet, refinish the cupboard. The Patina of Old Original Paint is quite impressive and I only wish we could duplicate it. This Painted Antique Cupboard...

  • 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.

    Antique Italian 3-door painted buffet in virtually a completely unrestored condition. The original paint has an unbelievable patina and there appears to be very little touchup. Judging by the backside of the antique Italian buffet, it appears to have been made in the late-1800’s and we can see no major repairs anywhere. Have to say that to find an antique Italian painted buffet...
