Vintage dressing cupboard
Ever wonder how does an old vintage cupboard looks like ?? Well I found one perfect example to share with you guys. Here is a rare vintage dressing cupboard from the late 40s or maybe during the early 50s era. This cupboard is specially belongs to my late great grandmother who have owned it for the longest period of time.
Made from solid teak wood, this piece here is really a big white elephant in the house. I remember it takes about 3 people to carry this cupboard from upstairs the old shop house into my grandma's home. Another feature about this cupboard is that it has these unique antique made locks installed on it. These locks are commonly found on antique furniture during the early 50s era or before that. Therefore, this piece here makes a good display item for vintage lovers.
The drawers for this cupboard are hard to pull out, as the drawer wood is sitting on top of the wood frame of the cupboard. Therefore, there is a lot of friction force when you pull open the drawers. Vintage cupboard in the past doesn't have rollers to ease the trouble of opening the drawers. It is common for people to use a lot of force just to open up these drawers. The hinges of the cupboard door are made from brass material.
Too bad, I can't show you whats inside this cupboard as it is filled with many things. I got this habit of flooding the cupboard with all kinds of stuff and ended up hunting high and low for them. When clearing up this cupboard in the future, I will share on my next post about the inside of this cupboard, stay tune !!!
