19th c. Tuscan Cupboard

Italy, 19th Century

$1,895

Antique

One-Of-A-Kind

Wood

Honey-toned pine on the outside, and a quiet fleur-de-lis surprise within. This 19th-century cupboard has two upper drawers with raised diamond panels set above a pair of paneled doors framed with octagonal moldings. Inside, the drawers and shelves are lined in patterned paper that only reveals itself when opened. Cupboards like this lived in the center of the house, holding linens, dishes, or pantry goods within easy reach. It was opened and closed all day, part of the daily rhythm rather than a formal piece. Sylvie loves it in an entry or dining room, where you only notice the interior once you go looking - and then you’re glad you did.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

  • Notes from Sylvie:

    The surface is a smooth worn pine with some darker patina in spots. A brass pin holds the doors closed. There is some brown discoloration right at the front of the fleuer de leaf pattern paper lined shelves. As with many antiques, this piece may show gentle repairs, cracks, scratches, holes, years worth of patina, and stains - just the way we like it.
