Austria
Walnut
Biedermeier around 1825
Dimensions: H x W x D: 181 x 104 x 55 cm
Description:
Single-door piece of furniture standing on slightly protruding square feet typical of the region.
Neatly laid walnut grain pattern over the entire furniture front and both sides. Ebonised half columns and a likewise blackened key escutcheon set beautiful accents.
The relatively high plinth hides a handleless drawer.
Inside the cabinet there are five shelves adjustable in height via a toothed rail and a device for hanging a clothes rail.
The door is protected against warping from the inside by two solid burr strips and by a counter veneer. This is very well made and advisable for a door of this width.
The cornice of the cabinet is extremely delicate. Nothing should distract from the beautiful furniture front!
Condition:
Refinished condition. The shellac hand polish gives the wood strength and depth. A slit in the upper part of the back wall (presumably intended as a cable aperture by a previous owner) was closed during the restoration.
Price: This cabinet has already been sold. I offer similar models for approx. 3500,-€ to 4500,-€.
