Antique American Primitive Step Back Cupboard with Punched Wood Side Panels - FOR PICK UP OR TRANSPORT ONLY, ITEM WILL NOT SHIP! An antique American primitive step-back cupboard constructed from pine or a similar fruitwood with a golden honey-toned finish. The sides of the upper section are uniquely detailed with hand-punched ventilation holes arranged in a circular, star-burst pattern directly through the wooden panels, a variation of the traditional metal-paneled pie safe design. The lower half includes two side-by-side drawers featuring ornate brass-toned bail pulls with foliate backplates, positioned above two paneled cabinet doors that reveal a single central interior shelf. The cupboard is supported by a cutout bracket base with simple shaped feet. The construction utilizes machine-cut dovetails on the drawer joints and horizontal planking for the back. No maker marks, labels, or signatures were identified during inspection. Height: 71 1/2 inches Width: 40 1/4 inches Depth: 17 3/4 inches.
