They're restored originals. If you do a search here you should be able to find some 'in progress' pictures I posted a while back.
Reproducing these cabinets accurately would be challenging. The louvers especially would require some custom milling. But if you can find a pair of originals, and the louvers are all that's salvageable, you can repro the rest given enough determination. luckily, the louvers are made of solid stock, and are usually fine. The rest of the cabinets are made from a combination of veneered lumber core and traditional plywood, and they almost always have moisture damage (peeling + separating issues).
Thanks for all the kind words--they really did turn out nicely.
