Antique Black Painted Oak Tall Boy Cabinet with Drawers, Gothic shabby chic

This is a useful tallboy cabinet which dates to the mid 20th century. Made of solid oak and mixed woods this piece is ideal for use in a bedroom, perfect for storing clothes or it would also make a useful dining room or office cabinet. It is a well made, quality piece of furniture and is heavy and solid. The cabinet has small double doors to the top which have lovely carved details to the front, the doors open to reveal a simple cupboard space for storage. Below the doors are three graduated drawers finished with very ornate cast iron drop handles. To the base are small turned legs finished with block feet which are supported by shaped stretchers. I have hand painted the cabinet in my own mix of chalk based black paint before distressing the finish for a gently aged look. The paintwork is solid colour and has been waxed for protection, the finish has a very low sheen.
