It looks great! I think it may have been made in the late 60's early 70's and I think China on the back is not the country but the fact it is a china buffet.
This was made in Drexel, NC, & part of Drexel Furniture Co's 1956 Sirocco line. It was made of oak & mahogany hardwoods, topped w/mahogany veneer. They also made coffee & end tables, so "China" on the back refers to this being one of their china cabinet styles (the other one had louvered doors at each end.) I have the dining table that matches this, & it is stamped "Sirocco 1956," so I was able to research it online. Because of the beautiful woods used & the quality of Drexel pieces I would have just updated the old greenish finish to a natural wood tone, & reserved the geometric paint redo for a lower quality piece.
I agree. According to U.S. custom import laws, if it was made in China it would need to say made in China! There was also the possibility it was refurbish using old packing material. But after going back and looking at it I feel it is a description of the item as it has a lot number included.
@@Randyshufflesfurnituretrade with China wasn’t opened up until the late 90’s. Most furniture here was still American made until the end of the century. However, the trade agreement with China decimated the American furniture industry in less than 7 years. Odds are it’s not made in China and if it was, it’s maybe 20 years old at the most.
I had that set and a similar one created by Drexel. I kept the Drexel and passed your piece on to my family. That style and color were popular in the late 50s. The piece was manufactured in the US not China. The china stamp means china cabinet as opposed to buffet. Some manufacturers used the same lower piece or one similar and added a hutch to create a china cabinet. Some of those painted pieces were walnut veneers. The Drexel set is solid walnut wood with walnut veneer. The drawer pulls were solid copper.
That seems to be the consensus that is is marked that way because of what type of piece it is. I feel kind of silly for not thinking of that. Thanks for all your comments!
I agree China means China cabinet. Also agree it was probably made in the 50-60s. I was so glad to see you put a clearcoat over the painted hardware. I watch so many diy people just paint the hardware and think it is enough. Those handles get wipped and used a lot. Two or more coats of clear coat are needed if you want the hardware to look good for any reasonable length of time! It also looks great. A very tastful job!
Very pretty, great job. The paint with the stain on the drawers looks so good. Overall, a piece that will go on to grace someone’s home for a very long time.
Great job! A tip for masking areas for painting to avoid bleeding: once your tape is in place, paint the edge & a narrow area of the side to be painted with a matt clear, once dry, apply paint. Any bleeding will be from the clear coat, almost invisible.
Lovely redo, the wood and paint combo is striking. I see from the comments that I wasnt the only one who noticed the keyhole escutcheon was upside down 😊
Felt on the chip is a 60s giveaway looks really nice recovered the choice of black and original color turns the top from eyesore to pop Well worth your time Solid
Great job on the piece! You brought it into the 21st century in style. I believe the piece is a little earlier than the 80's more like the 1970's possibly the 60's.. They would have made multiple pieces for a dining room set so they marked the back of pieces to let you know which piece it was. In this case it was marked "China" Hutch with model number on the back and they would have had a buffet, dining table etc. also marked. So I think the China on the piece is referring to its function rather than the country of origin. Thanks for sharing the transformation.
Unfortunately, large hutches do not sell well in my area. Since it was already in two pieces I decided to refinish them as two separate pieces that will sell better than one large hutch. Thanks!
I love it! China cabinets are beautiful pieces of furniture, but you can't even give them away. We just don't use them anymore. So this introduces it as an accent piece
It’s lovely. A bit dark for my taste, but that’s because I tend to shy away from furniture that overwhelms a room😂 just me. It is beautiful, and I tend to agree that the China was a designation of use not of origin 😊
Wow the end result is amazing. Great job restyling and executing it. However I have one suggestion... invest in a good pair of scissors. Guggenheim makes a beautiful pair, ads all over RUclips. They are strictly for Fabric. I had a custom drapery shop and regular hardware scissors do not compare. Use on your next fabric project and then put them in a safe place, not your tool box, until the next time. 😊
All I ever find in drawers is dust, ink stains, paper clips and straight pins. Well, there was that one time I got a collection of tags taken off what must have been a lifetime’s worth of clothes. 😂
New Subscriber here. GREAT job!!! It's really beautiful. Question...what is that design on the ring on your right hand? It looks familiar to me for some reason....but, I can't quite see the entire thing. Curious. Blessings from Texas! 🤠🤠
If the piece was marked by a known maker I probably would have rejoined the pieces and done more of a restoration. But since it was not marked and because of the condition I decided to refinish each piece separately. Also, large hutches like this do not sell very well in my area. As separate pieces they will sell much faster. Thanks for the question.
Я не очень люблю краску на дереве, но у вас получидось сделать очень яркую вещь из чего-то старого и обыкновенного. Непонятно, зачем ставить фальшивую замочную скважину, если нет замка? И вверх ногами :)
Turned out better than I thought it would! lol Great job! :) Question: any particular reason for the annoying repetitive 'music'? Is music really necessary in these types of videos? Just wondering, because I find it annoying, and turn on the mute button.
Came out really nice! Black was a great choice. You might want to check your keyhole cover if you didn’t mean to put it upside down (I know it isn’t a functional one! But I have never seen them put upside down even then…)
It looks great! I think it may have been made in the late 60's early 70's and I think China on the back is not the country but the fact it is a china buffet.

Thank you! Cheers! Keyhole is fixed
That's magic right there, Randy!! Beautifully done too!!
Thank you! Cheers!
The Brushes are CRUMB BRUSHES and they are used to sweep crumbs up off the tablecloth.
Excellent work on the finishing of the piece.
Thanks for the info.
That looks wonderful! I love the two tone!!
Glad you like it!
Nice update look for this old cabinet.

Love it, love it, love it!!!!!!!! New sub.💕
Thanks for subbing!
With the trend to put collections on display a reunification would offer that opportunity.
Unfortunately, large hutches do not sell well in my area. Since it was already in two pieces I decided to refinish them as two separate pieces that will sell better than one large hutch. Thanks!

Good point! Thanks!
My mother had a very similar one. I'd say 1968
I cherish the hope that you restored the leather case of the brushes. It would look so nice with the refurbished cabinet.
I will have to do some research on the best way to restore it, but maybe in the future. Thanks

Thanks! You could tell that I used my cheap pair of scissors to cut the felt. I will definitely have to invest in a better pair.
Lovely👍🏻👏🏻🇦🇺
Thanks!
I’m wondering if the brushes you found are table crumb sweepers.
Possibly. I'll have to do a little more research.
WOW
Thanks!
From meh to Wow!
I appreciate the comments. Thanks!
Beautiful! It looks like an Art Deco piece, maybe in the franch period in Shaghai? 😂
other people have suggested that it was labeled China because it was a china cabinet and was probably made in the 60's.
Great job! It looks amazing! Are you going to redo the top part too?
Yes I am! Keep watching for that video. Thanks
I don't like painted furniture....usually. This looks great.
Thanks
My grandmother had a china buffet in her house. It is true, you don't see big pieces like that in too many houses anymore.
Yeah. I have done them in the past, but not as wide as this piece. Thanks for the comments!
All I ever find in drawers is dust, ink stains, paper clips and straight pins. Well, there was that one time I got a collection of tags taken off what must have been a lifetime’s worth of clothes. 😂
HaHaHa! I find plenty of that kind of thing as well. Thanks for the comment, it made me smile!
Beautiful. But my OCD needs to point out that the keyhole piece is upside down.
Other people noticed that as well. Oops. It is fixed. Thanks
Its looks amazing n brand new. But u put key cover upside down.
A few people noticed that. Good eye. Fixed. Thanks!
Ummm is that key thingy upside down?? Nice work
Yup. Fixed. Thanks!
Dramatic
Thanks!

Thanks. It is actually just a simple ring with black diamonds.
@@Randyshufflesfurniture That's why it looks so unique. Thank you.
Hi - wondering if you would have come up with a different design if you’d realised it was a mid century piece made in USA…?
If the piece was marked by a known maker I probably would have rejoined the pieces and done more of a restoration. But since it was not marked and because of the condition I decided to refinish each piece separately. Also, large hutches like this do not sell very well in my area. As separate pieces they will sell much faster. Thanks for the question.

Thank you. I think it was common for the time period to put non functional decorative elements on furniture. I flipped it over, Thanks!
Turned out better than I thought it would! lol Great job! :) Question: any particular reason for the annoying repetitive 'music'? Is music really necessary in these types of videos? Just wondering, because I find it annoying, and turn on the mute button.
Noted! I try to put music where the noise will be annoying, like sanding. Thanks for the Comments. I will be mindful of mixing it up in the future.
Why would anyone mount an escutcheon upside down?
It was fixed a while ago. See previous comments.
My guess is that "China" refers to it being a china cupboard, but who knows!
OMG! You are probably right. I can't believe I didn't think of that. Thank You! My mind immediately went to "made in China". HAHAHA
Came out really nice! Black was a great choice.
You might want to check your keyhole cover if you didn’t mean to put it upside down (I know it isn’t a functional one! But I have never seen them put upside down even then…)
@@hickorygolddocOops. Thanks . Fixed.
If it does not say "Made in China " the word china may not be referencing country of origin.
Thanks for the comment. Several people have said the same.
The China meant China hutch, not made in china
That seems to be the consensus. Thanks for watching
It's a China hutch.
That seems to be the consensus. Thanks!
Wow! Beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Very nice!! You did an excellent job transforming this piece! ❤❤❤ the color!
Thank you so much!
