Palatinate
Walnut
Biedermeier around 1825
Dimensions: H x W x D: 89 x 87 x 45 cm
Description:
Piece of furniture standing on block feet with two doors flanked by solid columns at the bottom and a head drawer above.
The beautiful grain of the walnut is neatly mirrored and provides a strict symmetry on the front, sides and top.
Behind the two doors are two large open compartments that may have served to store plates, bowls or glasses. Unlike a chest of drawers, the half-cupboard, also called a sideboard or sideboard, is thus also suitable for storing bulky and standing objects. The drawer probably served to store cutlery or table linen.
Pieces of furniture like this, with their slightly vertical orientation, were often placed between two doors or windows. In an even narrower version and with a matching mirror above, this type of furniture is also known as a trumeau cabinet.
Condition: Refurbished and ready for daily use.
Price: 2850,- €
