This wonderful little kitchen cabinet is as original as it could possibly be. With a blue formica top and green/blue vinyl sides. It has 2 pairs of sliding double doors; the top ones are glass with wonderful red and black drawings and gold checks, the lower ones are corrugated hardboard, painted pale blue/green to match the vinyl. The typically 1950s stylised pictures are kitchen related; the only thing which identifies this as a kitchen cabinet rather than a cocktail cabinet. Theses images are of shrimps and fish, a knife and fork, a glass of wine etc. They are painted on the inside of the glass and are quite heavily worn in places but still add to the charm of this piece. It stands on white enamelled tubular steel legs with black rubber feet. The legs are strong and sturdy but there are cosmetic signs of age to the enamel paint. It is absolutely ideal if you are decorating a kitchen in this 1950s retro style, without fitted units and want to have mid-century free-standing cabinets.

It will look superb in any 1950s style kitchen with pastel accessories and could also be the perfect prop for any production set in the post-war period. It would also look adorable used as a drinks cabinet, cocktail cabinet or display cabinet.

You could even put some lights in it. Its quite a compact size so it will fit in even a limited space. These days I find my customers prefer not to have vintage furniture covered in chalk paint, I sell to props companies and set designers as well as those who are looking for authenticity. The melamine, glass and the vinyl would not paint well anyway but you might want the inside and/or the lower doors & front woodwork painted. It is in VERY GOOD vintage condition.

I have given it a clean but this has not been restored or painted in any way. It is completely original and does show its age. But the legs are sturdy and strong and it is completely serviceable. It is still over 60 years old though and there are a couple of cosmetic marks and bumps. Please see ALL photos and read FULL description.
