About the Item

Centuries of use have shaped this 17th-century Swedish stepback cabinet into a piece of true character. Hand-carved panels adorn the doors, their worn edges and deep patina revealing the passage of time. Snipe hinges secure the upper section, which opens to two shelves, while the lower portion remains open, adding a sense of balance and versatility. The aged wood grain, softened by time, enhances its rustic appeal, making it a striking addition to any space that values history and craftsmanship. Found in Sweden, circa 1680. Handcrafted utilizing pegged and dovetailed joinery, in addition to hand-forged iron nails. The original hand-forged iron hardware, locking mechanism, and key are present. Minor wood separation is present at the door panels and back of the cupboard (not structural). The cupboard is strong and sturdy. Overall wear is consistent with age and use. Measures approximately 28” W x 20.25” D x 55.5” H.
