This cabinet is a showcase of fine craftsmanship, blending function with artistry. The main body is fully veneered in American Cherry and Rock Maple, highlighting the natural contrast of timbers. Hand-cut dovetail joinery features in the drawers, ensuring strength and precision. The interior layout offers versatile compartments, balanced with smooth brass-knobbed drawers. The inside of the doors displays original floral marquetry, carefully designed, crafted, and placed by hand. Subtle etched burns form delicate pollen details within the blossoms, adding depth and finesse. Standing tall on long, elegant American Cherry legs, taking after the Krenov Cabinet Style, the cabinet shows a unique style to woodworking away from standard cabinet designs.
