We’ve recently acquired an unusual and exciting piece; an early 20th Century Hoosier Cabinet!

What is a Hoosier Cabinet, you might be asking? Well, it’s a type of cupboard popular in the first decades of the 20th Century. Originally made by the Hoosier Manufacturing Co. in the early 1900s, they were made to meet the needs of the home cook. Around this time, kitchens were not typically made with built-in cabinets. The need for convenient storage and work space in home kitchens was dire, so the Hoosier Cabinet came to save the day. They were highly sought-after pieces for every home until the 1920s, when houses were constructed with built-in kitchen storage.

The Hoosier Cabinet is also known as a Baker’s Cabinet, as they were made with an extended enamel surface, with several cupboards for storage above and below. They often included baking hardware such as a cooling rack or flour bins, or other accessories to store spices and cooking staples. Ours includes a cooling rack and sliding shelf in the lower cabinet, and plenty of drawers and cupboards for kitchen storage.

This beautiful and hard-to-find piece can be yours for just $482. It’s in very good condition for its age; a little wear and tear, but it’s solidly built and still has a ton of life in it. Come check it out at the Furnish Green Showroom!

This is a truly unique vintage piece! Out of a 1920s dentist’s office comes one cool and storage multi-functional cabinet. It is an industrial style wooden piece with a total of TWENTY-TWO drawers. It contains 16 shallow drawers used for storing tools of various sorts and 6 deeper drawers for storage of larger items. The cabinet also has three easy-access, flip-up storage compartments on top.

This piece provides an expansive variety of interesting storage solutions all within a structurally unique cabinet. Quite heavy and very sturdy, the carcass is made of painted wood while the base is black marble.

While at one time it functioned specifically as a dental cabinet, its uses today are plentiful. This would be a great industrial display piece in a boutique or fixture in an artist’s studio, with storage for both supplies and artwork. It can also be a great organizational piece in a child’s room for toys and trinkets.

Items like these don’t come around too often, so don’t miss your chance to find a new way to utilize this cool vintage dental cabinet.

It’s no secret that we’re a bunch of stereo junkies here at Furnish Green. Recently we picked up this Grundig Majestic Hi-Fi console and we’re all in love. Grundig began making radio receivers in Germany after World War II, and by mid century they were making the Majestic line of stereo consoles. Made in the late 1950s to early 60s, our Grundig Hi-Fi system is in great working condition and has built-in speakers, turntable, and a mirrored storage compartment. Beautiful type on the receiver as well, and best of all, it sounds amazing! It also has a custom-cut piece of glass to preserve the surface, so you can place a television on top with no worries of scratching it. Come on into the store and you can give this piece a test ride!
