Now Offering "Miniature" Primitive Cupboards

We are now taking orders on miniature scaled reproductions of the popular cupboards we have sold in the shop. The cabinetmaker of the original cupboards has agreed to make these miniatures on a limited basis. There are very few available, so we are taking orders on these NOW. Perhaps you would like one to accent your larger piece. Perhaps you would like one for your miniatures collection, or just to add to the primitive decor of your home. We can have these shipped to your home, anywhere in the USA, for just an additional $15. These fine little miniatures are actual scaled reproductions of the larger pieces. They are made by the same folks that produced the larger versions. That's made here in the good ole USA folks! That's important. Support your handmade in the USA people now more than ever! Call the shop at 315-589-2775 to order. These will not be available forever, so we urge you to act now while they are being offered to you.

This is one of the new items we recently brought into the shop. This is a great, turn of the century, oak Hoosier type kitchen cabinet. Very unusual with the various compartments including the built in spice chest and flour bin.

 As you can see, this cupboard has a great oak top with breadboard ends. The pull down center door has been taken off a long time ago but we have it and it comes with the cupboard if anyone is tempted to put it back on.

There are several compartments that are out of the ordinary. One comes complete with a set of blue tin spice drawers. 

Also, the door on the right side reveals a very unique flour bin. The door on top lifts up and the flour is poured in here. Then when some is needed, one just slides the little door up and scoops out what you need. Pretty Cool!

This old Hoosier style cupboard is all Oak, has the original hardware, and is in an old finish. I don't see any repairs or modifications. The base is on wheels. The top portion simply screws to the base. I judge this to be made around the same period as the Hoosiers were, from 1920's era.
You can see this in the shop NOW. It is priced at $999, a very fair price for this unique Cupboard.

From time to time we will Feature a unique piece on this Blog, so please sign up and join this Blog to stay informed of these types of posts.
