I love a spice chest as a form--all those little drawers to stash things inside--and all the better in old creamy white and black paint, with porcelain labels, in German I believe, mounted above each pull. (Kummel = caraway, muscat = nutmeg, etc.) Very tenderly constructed, and clearly well used, with a few of the pulls it appears having been replaced over time, resulting in a pleasing mish mosh. Terrific patina, just right scale, better in person, lots of personality and presence. All drawers open and close with ease.
15 1/5" t x 7 3/4" w x 3 5/8" d and in good antique condition, solid and sturdy, with beautiful aging to the creamy white paint. One split at the top, but it does not threaten its soundness, and it could still be hung if desired without worry.
