Industrial Workbench, 1930s
-
Description
This is a counter or storage cabinet that distinctly showcases an industrial and well-worn aesthetic. Primarily crafted from wood, it features a finish that evokes an aged and utilitarian look, with peeling different grey paint revealing the underlying wood and previous layers of color. The top is a solid, smooth surface, also bearing signs of wear, ideal for placing items or serving as a workspace.
On the front, the cabinet is organized with two central doors, flanked by two side panels, all featuring a recessed or paneled section in a lighter shade of grey. The doors and panels are equipped with simple metal handles, reinforcing its functional and no-frills character. Below the top surface and above the central doors, two drawers with minimalist knobs are visible, useful for storing small items.
The structure is robust and stands on solid legs, suggesting good stability and durability over time. The overall appearance is that of a piece with a history, possibly used in a workshop, laboratory, or artisanal setting, and now lending itself as a characterful furniture item, perfect for loft, rustic, or industrial-style interiors. -
