Antique Sellers Quartersawn Oak Farmhouse Kitchen Hoosier Bakers Cabinet 71"

Description

A gorgeous example of a Sellers Kitchen Cabinet. Sellers was the first furniture manufacturing company to specialize in the production of Hoosier style cabinets. Their roots date back to 1898 in Elwood, Indiana. They later moved to New Castle, Indiana and remained in business until 1949.

At the time Hoosier cabinets were more than just a cabinet; they were a must-have in most homes. The cabinets not only stored kitchen staples like flour and sugar, they also held workable utensils inside. Most Hoosier cabinets housed flour sifters, Lazy Susans for spices, bread boxes, and even meat grinders.

The typical Hoosier cabinet had a large base, sometimes on casters, with a pull out work surface and several drawers. The top was narrower and had several cabinets and drawers and usually one compartment had a roll-top or tambour. Most were made of oak.

This beautiful example is made out of Amber Oak and has an enameled pullout with tambour door, in addition to multiple drawers, cabinets and pull out storage trays.
