1800s Wood Church Vestment Cabinet



Featured here is this wonderful Church Vestment Cabinet that was built on site in 1887 in a church in Southern Illinois.

The wood is featured in Butternut, Chestnut and Walnut Trim. A very large majestic piece that measures 84 1/2" high by 101" wide by 32" deep. There are 5 central drawers, 4 of which measures 48" wide by 4" high by 28" deep and the last one measures 8" high.

Superb in architectural design a Gothic Cathedral design frames the center top of the Cabinet with wonderful trim work along the whole top of the Cabinet. The trim work around the top cabinet drawers are featured in Walnut wood and add great interest to this fabulous piece.

I have shown the dovetail work on the drawers in one of my images and the metal hardware handles on this Cabinet are original.

The glass is not original and has since been replaced as well as the hardware that hold the glass shelves in the two side cabinets.

There are four main separate pieces to this whole Vestment Cabinet. The wood has been refinished and shows a very rich glow as seen in my images. I have taken some images without the flash so you can see the rich finish I am referring to.

On each of the side Cabinets, the latch hardware is partially missing and the back hardware has been replaced. Also, on the left side Cabinet around the latch area on the door there is a vertical strip of wood missing (please see image) but cannot be seen when door is closed.

The central Cathedral ...
