Happy Weekend, Steem Fam! Here in SA we have a long weekend! Monday is Heritage Day, or National Braai Day as we have dubbed it here in SA! Braai is barbecue for those of you who don’t know!
I am super excited to share with you this AMAZING collectors cabinet I sourced this week for my shop.
It’s a beautiful piece, crafted as only an antique could be. Sturdy, extremely heavy, and with each and every drawer sliding so smoothly into its slot.
When I saw it at the auction house, the doors were closed, with no indication of the many drawers inside.
Every other person in the room just walked past it, but I went to have a closer look (I don’t know why - as just a cupboard it’s quite plain) and when I saw the drawers inside I quickly closed the doors so no one else could see! 😂
I believe it’s original use to have been for displaying stamps, or perhaps butterflies, but the top two drawers on either side are taller than the others so I think they must have been for some sort of tools, and this makes me think it’s for stamps 💓
🦋 Did you know that a person who collects butterflies is called a lepidopterist? 🦋
I am absolutely infatuated with this piece and can’t wait to see it go to it’s perfect home. I love it when a client is looking for the perfect piece and I am able to help. This piece is on reserve already and I’m sure it will be sold soon!
Have an amazing weekend Steem Fam 🌸
