Mid-Century Metal Display Cabinet – Distress Black
This striking vintage metal cabinet has been beautifully refinished in a rich black, with subtle distressed detailing that lets its original red and white paint peek through, adding depth and authentic character.
The upper portion features two glass doors with a working lock mechanism (key not included but can easily be reproduced) and two adjustable glass shelves — perfect for displaying glassware, books, collectibles, or bathroom linens. An interior light is wired to turn on and off automatically as the right door opens and closes, enhancing the display.
Below, two smooth-gliding metal drawers provide practical storage, while the double-door cabinet offers additional space with a removable metal shelf inside. Standing on four sturdy legs, this piece blends functionality with timeless industrial charm.
History:
Originally, cabinets like this were used in factories, workshops, or medical settings during the mid-20th century. Their all-metal construction made them durable for heavy use, while the glass doors offered visibility of important tools, supplies, or specimens.
