2 Wooden pieces - any help?

Hello,

Can anybody help me with these two wooden pieces? I Found them in my grandmother basement. It is written 1872 on the face of one piece. Looks like church furniture to me.

 

Hello Rush, and welcome.
It helps if you post the pictures full image, here is how:

About your cabinets, they are very pretty, but don't look like church furniture to me. Does your grandmother have a German or Austrian connection?

 

Welcome!

Hello,

She is from Slovenia (near Austrian border), so it is quite possible these two cabinets were made in Austria / Germany.

Thx for the tip about the pictures.

 

In that case I think they could well be Slovenian. They also make this style of flower painted furniture in northern Italy, which borders on Slovenia.
I like them very much.

 

Now THAT's good detective work!

 

Not really, many holidays in that general area, plus a mother who loved folk furniture, especially painted.

 

They are lovely,and check out that hand forged hardware.

 

These probably fit into the corners of a dining room or keeping room in a less formal house. Probably fairly common over there but better as a pair. Would be rare and valuable if American.

 

From the photos, I assume that they stack and create a single tall cupboard, correct?

 

Doubt so. One is a corner piece while the other is rectangular. I didn't look closely enough either. I assumed they were both corner cupboards. The corner cupboard would have wall mounted. It looks like the other is freestanding. Probably used in the same room but not necessarily together.

 

And I thought my grandmother had beautiful boxes and cabinets these are gorgeous and a great fine I've been a member of this message board for three days and it's like a family here it will help you if they can but it's much more than that it's the knowledge that is the real beauty in any antique and these group of people have such great knowledge so welcome
