The Big Red - French Painted Cocktail Cabinet
Oh my! How rare to find such a WONDERFUL cocktail cabinet!
I've called her The Big Red - if you think she looks good on the outside, wait till you see her faaaaabulous insides. But first here's the previous very brown look... alright in her day I suppose. Very 1960's.
But check out those legs! I spent some time painting her all over in a really strong, red, chalk paint.
Then fully sealed with clear and dark waxes before having some fun with the gilding.
When the doors open, you'll find the shelving and the original red cocktail sticks.
Martini sweetie?
Inside there are mirrors with two glass shelves and a light.
A customer was looking at the cabinet and I pulled the lower shelf out - it's mirrored too. She said, "Oh my - it's got everything, including a coke snorting shelf!!" Hahaha, I do love my customers :-)
Here's some pics that show those lovely legs and the way the gilding works with that yummy red colour.
In the shop now and looking for a VERY stylish home :-D
