By the beginning of the 20th century, these beautiful cabinets went out of style when pre-formed pills and mass-produced packaging took the place of individually measured powders and ointments.
This cabinet is a great accent piece for any room and can store and display all sorts of things. It is constructed of solid pine wood and is finished with Milk Paints of your choice. See WOODS/FINISHES for details and other selections.
