A beautiful, highly characterful vintage/antique small Indian wooden wall cabinet, sourced from Kempton Antiques Market. Originally used as a merchant's small valuables, spice, or key cupboard, this rustic piece features a glazed front door opening to reveal a naturally aged wood interior fitted with hand-forged internal iron hooks.
The cabinet retains incredible layers of historical paint in muted tones of sea green, dark teal, and ochre, all heavily weathered and distressed to create a perfect primitive patina. It can be utilized as a unique wall-mounted key box, a rustic jewellery organizer, or a small specimen display case.
