19th c. Aragon Cupboard

Spain, 19th Century

$3,295

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Wood

The market had barely opened when Sylvie climbed into the back of a dealer's box truck to reach it before anyone else could. Found in Béziers and built in Aragon, this 19th-century cupboard stands on short bracket feet, its two tall paneled doors meeting at a carved roundel with an iron latch and pull at the center. Cupboards like this were the largest piece a rural Spanish home owned, built heavy by local hands with that one carved flourish on an object otherwise made to work. Sylvie sets it in a dining room with everyday plates stacked behind the doors and linens folded on the shelf above.

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

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. The hardware on this piece has slight rust and a missing original nail on one of its hinge's. The wood has a rough texture with cracks, scratches, and variation in varnish. Although there is a lock that indicates there was once a key the working locking mechanism is only manual.

All items are final sale.
