Antique Pine Cupboard - Sweden, 1840 This amazing waxed pine cupboard is not only functional, charming and beautiful, it possesses a mysterious image from the past. The function, charm and beauty is represented in the seven drawers in the base cabinet and fourteen apothecary drawers and shelf space behind the raised panel doors. The mysterious image this piece possesses is on the left side of the base cupboard and is of a man (or woman?) drawn by a previous owner nearly 160 years ago. The pigment from the original paint used to create this subtle image probably stained the pine wood. The cupboard was ultimately over painted many, many times and upon removal of the several layers of paint the pigment of the face was left as a permanent legacy of this amazing piece. Please contact me to see additional pictures of the interior of this cupboard as well as pictures of the mysterious image. |
