The Antique Convent Cabinet

France , 18th Century

$1,195

A convent’s workhorse, built to keep order in a nun’s daily routine. This mail cabinet is made of two separate pieces, stacked atop one another like a quiet little tower of purpose. The lift-top compartment, small interior drawers, and lower cabinet with shelves once held correspondence, records, or provisions—whatever the sisters needed within reach. Dovetail joinery and an original brass escutcheon nod to its monastic origins, where function always came first. Now? It’s a rare find with endless versatility. Sylvie loves it as a statement storage piece, a one-of-a-kind bar cabinet, or an entryway catch-all with a little history built in.

  • Notes from Sylvie:

    Like many antique wood pieces, this cabinet has evidence of previous wood worm holes and has been repaired in the past. It has cracks, patina and stains, but we think that only adds to its character.
