Fantastic, mid-century, vintage wall-mount shelf/medicine chest/ storage cabinet, with two sliding doors and four storage compartments, from the 1950s.
This handcrafted cabinet is typical of the era, made after the war during the reconstruction period, when the phrase "less is more", was associated with pieces like this, made of plywood, which is rare to find these days.
Simple, practical and cost effective, this storage cabinet has four different interior compartments (shelves), framed by side panels with a sleek, smart, Scandinavian-style design, that was very popular during this epoch.
Although not as refined as similar pieces made at this time, we love its design, rustic characteristics and rich colors.
The piece is in very good, overall, original vintage condition, with light signs of marks and use, commensurate with time, on the top, interior and side panels (see photos.)
There is a small area of veneer missing at the bottom, interior section of the left side panel under the shelf, as well as a little area at the bottom, exterior, front corner of the right side panel (see photos), and some light marks at the rear, left side of the top (see photo), none of which affect the functionality of the piece.
The two handles of the sliding doors are both present and the doors slide open and close perfectly. The bottom shelf (compartment), is as wide as the piece itself, while two others are about 3/4 the length of the bottom section, and a final compartment on the left side, designed higher and wider, to accommodate taller objects.
This cabinet remains practical, sturdy, solid, stable and easily mounts onto a wall, by using screws or nails that can be inserted into the four holes at the rear of its interior, one in each corner (screws not provided.) The warm, golden oak color, has also maintained a really nice patina of time. It has only been gently dusted and cleaned, with respect to the original patina of the wood.
This great piece can be used to store or display whatever objects one desires, be they decorative or utilitarian.
Because of its size, it can be mounted onto a wall just about anywhere: In an entryway, kitchen, bedroom or bathroom, kid's
bedroom, used as a spice cabinet and more.
