This is a piece we are finishing up. It is a 1920s GraybaR 340 radio cabinet. The radio parts are long gone, but the beautiful walnut cabinet remains. We refinished the top and upper scroll work to original condition. The remainder of the outside has been painted with a coral chalk finish. We still have some waxing and sealing to do on the outside.
Notice the Birdseye maple insert at the bottom of the cabinet. That is a touch we couldn’t stand to cover up. It is a bit of yesteryear cabinetry you just don’t see anymore. Also, completely intact, is the cane access back.
Inside is an interesting touch. I salvaged the original manufacturing plate from the mounting platform inside. I installed it, along with the original rivets, on a beautiful solid oak shelf.
If one of a kind is what you are looking for, this is it.
really rewound
