Federal Revival Cabinet
Emerging in the early 20th century, the Federal Revival style brought back the grace and symmetry of America’s founding era. This style draws from the Neoclassical influences of the late 18th century, reviving the clean lines, inlaid details, and refined proportions that define American Federal furniture. It was a time when craftsmanship and attention to detail were paramount, as designers sought to reconnect with the country's early roots while embracing modern manufacturing techniques. This cabinet reflects the period’s fondness for symmetry and understated sophistication. Federal Revival pieces like this are a reminder of America's enduring love for classic, timeless design.
The upper portion features four glass doors with intricate cathedral-style fretwork, showcasing six shelves that provide ample space to display your finest pieces. Below, four solid doors conceal three additional shelves, offering practical storage options for larger items. The break-front section adds another layer of charm with two small accent drawers, plus two faux drawers that open up to reveal a slide-out felt server prep area. Built with dovetail construction, this piece combines the timeless craftsmanship of the past with a fresh, contemporary finish, making it both a striking and versatile addition to any space.

The China cabinet we're featuring today is the perfect example of that revival period.

THOMASVILLE ARCHED DRESSER
In a world filled with mass produced over consumption it's important to be selective in choosing the pieces that curate our lives. Those who choose to go against the crowd often value quality and timelessness over quantity and trends. Imagine a space that is designed to showcase only vintage items from the lamps to the rugs to the chests and tables - nothing matches but it works because it's all vintage or antique quality. Quality is the theme, not color matched decor. Discover your authenticity by choosing your vintage collections the way you would chose artwork that expresses who you are.
In the late 1960s the mid century modern movement had tapped into combining that classic quality with art-like design, especially in the sculptural niche. Thomasville was a core manufacturer that always hit the nail on the head with their designs, especially with the arched collection in the manner of T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings Colosseum collection. Constructed with the quality that Thomasville is known now for, it contains Oak, Walnut and Olive burl in its solid structure. The revived original finish shows a warm saturated body that contrasts perfectly with the lighter burl fronts. Featuring nine drawers, one with dividers and a bonus accessory tray for for the gentleman's drawer. The interior has an added touch of vintage yellow floral liners to protect your delicate items.
This set includes the triple dresser and two matching nightstands. The dresser and nightstands can be sold separately, but the nightstands must go as a set. Feel free to message me for additional photos or video.

I source quality vintage, antique, and used furniture pieces that are not bought new from a warehouse. This is because I believe in reducing the waste produced by reusing materials that are high quality. This also means that there will be the general wear on the furniture that does not detract from its functionality. This includes minor cosmetic imperfections. These show the furniture pieces history and unique character. Look at all of my photos for accurate depiction of the furniture piece. If you have any questions please message me.
