This little masterpiece made in the 18th century, respecting the manufacturing techniques, the curved facade as well as the feet and the gendarme hat cornice are typical of the period, all in Walnut with ash sides,
This reduction also presents on the doors ("exceptional" carved in the mass "known as Monoxyl") hinges and a keyhole in wrought iron from the period, all demonstrating the artisanal knowledge of the 18th century and giving this small piece elegance and authenticity.
The proportions are balanced. (note that part of the cornice has been redone, certainly due to a fall or any other accident, very old restoration already weathered by time).

we will talk about the Cabinets of Master Companions, which are in the same line, but much more detailed, perfect, for example Those of the apprentice journeymen at the end of their tour of France.
These perfect models were used to demonstrate their creativity and technical mastery, in hopes of being recognized as master craftsmen among their peers. so that they can trade themselves.
These pieces are true works, testimonies of know-how and manual intelligence, where the union of mind and hand allows the raw material to be transformed into an object, even a work of art.
An exceptional work which perfectly illustrates the Companion’s adage: “The hand nourishes the thought, and the thought nourishes the hand”.
good general condition, consistent with the vagaries of time due to its age. beautiful natural patina, and slight traces of xylophagous attacks not endangering the structure. These imperfections do not detract from the appeal of the piece of furniture; on the contrary, they highlight its journey through the ages.
