How to Identify China Cabinet?
Comments (6)I have its sibling!!!!! It's a standard kitchen cabinet tarted up with some curvy Art Noveau-ish rounded moldings on the doors to be trendy and stylish. Mine is oak, with the same moldings on the doors and bottom, same rosette at the lock, but mine has two rows of drawers (two small, one full width) between the doors. Your door pulls are not original. Mine had no pulls and no marks where a pull would have been. They may have had "push-open" catches. Mine also has old glass in it - the slightly wavery stuff with the tiny occasional stretched-out bubbles. That is NOT hand blown, it's the kind of mass-produced glass they made by pulling a sheet of glass up out of a cauldron of molten glass. Your cabinet doesn't look like oak - it could be walnut, poplar, butternut, or any of the other common wood species. Mine was identified by the seller, a knowledgeable dealer, as from 1900-1910 - apparently the way the panels of the doors are rounded had a short life because of the machinery it took to make it, and because the Art Noveau trend died out. I forget what I paid for mine, but it's a well-made vintage cabinet with rather nice wood. Here is a link that might be useful:...See MoreAntique China Cabinet - Need Help Identifying
Comments (10)Well...it's better at a distance than it is up close! LOL! It has been seriously clobbered....modified... the lower panels are fir plywood....certainly not original....perhaps thost doors also held glass? and the inside bottom has had stuff added....the hunges are not original....nor are thoses wrought iron clasps. It was a nice country cubbarD....not walnut but perhaps poplar... unfortunatly I don't know how you would un do what has been done. Lindqa C...See MoreIdentify China Cabinet Please
Comments (3)Nice, probably Mexican pine, but nothing special and definitely not antique. I'd price it at about 30% of what a similar piece sells for new. "Made in Mexico" means it was made for export. Made for use in Mexico says "Hecho en Mexico" or has no marks at all....See MoreCan someone help identify this china cabinet?
Comments (17)Ohmygosh Leximom! I have an EXACT same China cabinet! In fact, I have the whole dining room set-China cabinet, large buffet, small server, trestle table with claw-foot legs, 4 side chairs, 2 arm chairs! It was purchased at a local auction (eastern PA) many years ago. Like you, I was eager to find any info on it. The other day I found tags on the undersides of the chairs. (Never thought to look there before until by brother suggested it.) The set was made by the Thomasville Chair Company of Thomasville, NC. I'm guessing around the 1930s. Here's a website for a history of the company: http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/thomasville-furniture-industries-inc-history/ There's a Thomasville store nearby and I'm going there in the next few days with photos of all the pieces. I'm hoping they can give me more exact dates and any other info they have. If I find out more, I'll let you know. They're beautiful pieces, and I just cleaned ALL the draw pulls with Wright's copper cleaner. They look fabulous-bright and shiny again. Can't believe I found your post. I just noticed the numbers stamped ONLY on the China cabinet pulls and searched for that. Here's a photo of the buffet:...See MoreStocky
