Furniture like this was built by the same hands that worked the land, country joiners knocking together what a house needed from the boards they had. It comes from Catalonia and dates to the 19th century, a tall plank cupboard with a small latched compartment up top and open shelves running down below. The closed top kept the bread or anything worth latching away, while the open shelves held whatever was reached for every day. Sylvie saw it the moment the market opened and climbed straight into the dealer's truck to sit with it, making sure no one else could claim it before she had.
