Description
Here's a fantastic jelly cupboard for the primitive Americana lover. This dates to the Mid 19th Century. Original gray paint, square nails and original lock (no key) all add to the charm and allure of this piece. Probably walnut, it features one board sides and top and a hand chamfered door insert. Door joints are tongue and groove. Back is rough hewn lumber. Inside has three shelves that are 1" thick, as are all the boards. A true collector piece that is a rarity in today's market.
