There are cabinets that behave.
And then there are cabinets that decide to have a bit more presence.
This one started life as a very proper Art Deco piece from the 1930s — good bones, beautiful proportions, and burl veneer that deserved better than being overlooked. The goal wasn’t to change it completely, but to bring out what was already there and give it a bit more clarity.
The burl has been carefully restored and finished with Osmo Hardwax oil, bringing the grain back to life and giving it depth again. The exterior is painted in Wellington — a muted grey-green with warm, almost bronze undertones that sits somewhere between classic and contemporary without trying too hard.
Open it up and it shifts slightly.
The interior is finished in a lighter tone, combined with Art Deco wallpaper that adds just enough contrast to make it interesting, without becoming the whole story.
The original structure is fully intact:
sliding glass doors
original key
upper display and lower storage
The solid base and chunky legs are finished in a deep ebony tone, grounding the piece and balancing the lighter elements above.
It can be taken apart into two sections, which makes moving it a lot easier than it looks.
