Description:
Antique elegant alpine cupboard finely hand-painted. The cabinet was made around 1850 and was painted a second time in the early 1900s. The first painting had probably deteriorated. The structure features a single door, adorned with two decorative panels depicting vases filled with tulips and vibrant flowers, framed by a refined red border.
The dark background, blending blue and black tones, creates a striking contrast with the floral decorations, which also extend to the side panels, enhancing the overall harmony. The upper part is enriched with an arched cornice, decorated with a delicate ramage motif.The wardrobe is not yet restored. It will be delivered fully restored and customized according to the buyer’s preferences.
