Somewhere between a farmhouse kitchen and a Sunday-best dining room, this is the kind of cupboard that kept everything worth holding onto. Found in Montpellier and made in Alsace in the 19th century, it’s built in two parts from solid oak, with a shaped cornice and paneled doors carved in those soft, looping regional curves, finished with long, hand-forged iron escutcheons and keys that still turn with a bit of ceremony. Pieces like this were often made to hold a bride’s trousseau - linens, tableware, the good things brought into a marriage - crafted carefully to last for generations. Sylvie keeps the lower cabinet for stacks of plates and the top for glassware and folded linens, doors opening just as everyone has already taken their seat.
