This cabinet just screams atomic era! It was made by Garrison Furniture company and is designed to be used as a china cabinet with two grooves that run along the two upper glass cabinets for dishes to sit in, and a felt divider drawer for all of your utensils! It also makes a great display cabinet for all of your vintage knick-knacks or place to display all of your books! The measurements are: 68" tall, 48" wide, 9" depth at the top of the cabinet which tapers to 14" at the bottom of the upper glass cabinet and 15" depth for the lower closed cabinet. The lower cabinet has 4 doors that open to display a two shelve storage cabinet with the top shelf being set back slightly to allow storage of tall items. I love the spindles underneath the glass cabinet, the shape of the door openings, and the tapered legs with gorgeous detail at the base of the unit. The piece is in good vintage condition, there are some superficial scratches on the doors and the side of the piece, the main defect is a 1/2 inch depression on the top of the lower cabinet that would be visible to the discerning eye. There is a small chip on the side of the glass where it meets the other handle which would not be noticeable other than to a careful inspection (which I did as I wanted to list an honest assessment of current condition!), but otherwise the glass is in perfect shape. The top of the dresser is not stained and is a lighter color, you will not notice this unless you place it in a room where people will look down on the hutch or you are over 7 feet tall :)
*Only the cabinet is for sale, I am not selling any of the items on display in the photos!*
I see this item has sold. May I be so bold as to ask what the selling price was? I recently picked up a Garrison Hutch that appears to be from the same era for $60 and am wondering if I got a sweet deal.
ReplyDeleteHi Enrico, thanks for reading our blog and sorry it's taken me so long to write back - it's been a busy month. I would say you got a great deal, we sold this hutch for $180 which was a great deal for the buyer. Of course, pricing is different depending on which area of the country you are in and your market but I would guess that $60 would be a steal for a Mid Century Modern Garrison hutch in good condition in any market :) Enjoy it - I wish this piece would have worked for our house!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the response. We ended up getting bit by the Mid Century bug and have purchased more than we can use so are now picking and selling Mid Century furniture. It's a great way to have something really cool and then let it go so you can have another really cool thing.
