Identifying a Piece of Vintage Furniture?


Bronze Post Medal for All Time! 107 Posts

Identifying a Piece of Vintage Furniture - perhaps a homemade chest with a top that lifts for storage, a small drawer on the left and a door on the bottom with storage behind itI bought this piece of furniture at a thrift store. It appears to be semi-homemade. I'm wondering if some of you with creative minds will tell me what you think this item was designed to be. There's storage space behind the little door. The top lifts up so you can put things inside. The drawer seems to be in an unusual place. I love the uniqueness of the item and am curious to see what ideas everyone has.

What a neat puzzle piece!! Very fun!!

The very bottom reminds me of an old fashioned Ice Chest (pre refrigerator).

The very top reminds me of a cabinet where you would open it for the record player.

The puzzle is the drawer. The drawer from nowhere!!

I will look for other posts with input!

Fun thing! Enjoy your treasure!

This is a very unusal piece and I am sure it was never sold in a store. It almost looks like a cabinet maker made this piece for his family or even a child's room. It is well crafted and very unique.

It almost looks like it started off as a table and then they added the top section to this to use as a storage unit in a child's room.

I do not know what to make of this piece, it seems that all of the different parts of this may not be all originally together. It is unique! Need more info!

It started as a cedar chest and more pieces were added.
