Vintage upcycled restyled gin drinks cabinet Kumari
What a special piece! This gorgeous 1960s (the mirror in the back is stamped 4th July 1962!!) drinks cabinet has been fully restored and restyled with Fusion Mineral Paint coal black and copper. The fabulous Cole & Son “Safari” wallpaper has been added and the original walnut burr doors were stripped and restored with a protective wood oil.
She is so striking – a real statement piece. Elegant and gentle, she has been completely stripped (handles, hinges, literally everything has been redone) and built back together. See photos below for her complete before & after makeover. Inside is covered in copper leaf which is such a lovely surprise when you open the doors.

BACK STORY
Kumari is the name of the 48 year old (same age as me!) female elephant I got to feed and bathe and have unbelievable one on one time with when I was in Sri Lanka in 2019. I love this one!! My favourite so far! When I saw this beautiful antique drinks cabinet I knew I had to have her!! I also knew exactly what I wanted to do with her.
She’s been an image in my mind for a few months already and I couldn’t be happier with how she looks!!
She is so striking – a real statement piece. Elegant and gentle, she has been completely stripped (handles, hinges, literally everything has been redone) and built back together. Inside is covered in copper leaf which is such a lovely surprise when you open the doors. The burr walnut wood grain on the doors has been sanded back and has come back to its full glory!
