Italian Farm Cupboard
Italy, 19th Century
$1,795
Behind its two doors a family once kept its folded linens and its Sunday best. Found in Avignon but made in Tuscany in the 19th century, it stands tall and narrow in worn paint, its two doors each set with a raised wooden diamond above a single deep drawer. The applied diamonds were the maker’s one flourish, worked by hand onto doors that were otherwise all business, a little pattern on a piece built to keep a family’s linens or clothes. Sylvie would stand it in a bedroom or a hall, a narrow cupboard that tucks a surprising amount into very little room.
Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
