Antique Record Cabinet

Last week I succumbed. I couldn't resist any longer, I bought a 1920s record cabinet! It had been calling my name for a month, then last week I stopped in at the antique store on a totally different errand, and the price had been reduced!! Who can resist that!!
 My pictures are not the best. But you can see it is a beauty. The tag said it was a record cabinet, for phonograph records. But to me it looks like a side board for the dinning room. Currently, I think it is going to be used it the living room as a side table. I can just see it with a lacy scarf and a lamp with a pretty glass shade.

 It looks like it would have been the perfect size to store records. I am thinking it is from 1920-30 era.

    2. Jacqueline,
      It does go well. I am so excited that the price was dropped, because I wasn't going to pay the original amount. Even though I was dreaming of it for weeks!

      I will take another picture, Carla. Not sure when I will find the right lamp though......have to keep my eyes open.

  2. That's fab and I can imagine it with a lamp would a scarf not detract from it's beauty.

    1. Yes! a little lamp with a Tiffiany style glass shade! Hmmmmm..... will have to think on the scarf, you may be right. I really like the look of them and it helps protect the wood.
