rare antique dental dentistry cabinet
$800 Negotiable
Refurbished antique dental cabinet now ready for its new home. What a fantastic piece of history this is. It’s solid wood with walnut wood veneer.
.
It was built by S P Charteris, in Collingwood Melbourne on 8 June 1928 (makers mark and date stamp see photo).
.
Measurements to largest point
Height 155.5cm
Depth 40cm
Width 98cm
There are 9 slim drawers in total most with the original dental tool sectioning, and two larger drawers at the bottom (one with lock and two new keys). There is also a pull out work platform tray and then two bevelled glass front cabinets at the top each with a new glass shelf.
The mirrors are also bevelled edged, all original and intact with no breaks.
Some of the work completed in the refurbishment:
- 13 x new antique-style knobs, and 2 x replacement antique 1920’s ‘side of cabinet’ handles
.
- 2 x locksmith cut keys to fit original drawer lock. ** There is also a secret 🤫 locking mechanism for all the drawers
.
- brand new glass shelves cut by glazier with polished edge 5mm thick for top cabinets, plus new metal peg shelf supports
.
- new white paint inside top cabinets. ** Amazingly these top cabinets still hold the scent of iodine / sterilisation / antiseptic
- badly chipped veneer around edges that couldn’t be replaced has been carefully stripped, glued, filled, sanded and then given an antique black paint finish.
- painted pinstripe black lines on drawer fronts to connect with black paint edges and a look of faux wood inlay
- cabinet wood and veneer has been lightly and carefully sanded, stained where required and then multiple layers of nourishing wax applied and buffed
- drawers are all gliding beautifully thanks to sanding and waxed runners, and the hidden locking mechanism and drawer lock have been oiled
🦷 Included in the cabinet asking price is a nice selection of antique / vintage dentistry tools for free (approx cost $100 )
.
The appeal of this cabinet is both its rarity and also the quirkiness with all the slim drawers with dividers. It could have many uses. Maybe you will hold collections of antique medical implements or more dentistry tools, or crystals, fossils and rocks, or stamps & ephemeral items, or art and craft items, or paint brushes, or general Knick knacks or maybe its use will be a very cool and unique curiosity / curio cabinet.
.
Whatever you choose to use it for, it will be the talking point and envy of visitors.
They don’t come up for sale often especially in this condition for under $1000.
.
It’s strong and sturdy and built to last.
.
🚘 Pick up only from oxley which is approx 14 km from cbd south west
.
🧍🧍♂️ This will require two strong people to carry as it’s surprisingly heavy for its size. One person here can assist you carrying if needed but this must be pre arranged and confirmed before pick up and is subject to their availability .
