Handcrafted in France in the early 19th century, the magnificent Louis Philippe period piece featuring a tall shaped and paneled backsplash, a rare feature on cabinets like this, likely indicating it was custom made for a wealthy family. The high back sits over a single locking cupboard door with raised geometric diamond point sculpted panel, opening to interior with a shelf and plenty of space for storage, rising on large bun feet.

The locking cabinet includes the original key. A wonderful stately and unique piece with Medieval Renaissance, Dutch and Italian Baroque influence. European old world character and warm, rustic, distressed farmhouse charm.

Originally, likely used as a confit for storing jams and preserves, or a gentleman's cabinet, for locking away his personal items and setting other items on the table-top when walking in the home.

Today, it would make an exceptional wine bottle rack in a vineyard tasting room or home wine cellar, dry bar liquor cocktail cabinet, dining server, sideboard, credenza or buffet, kitchen storage cupboard, rustic farmhouse harvest work table, hall stand, or wonderful entry-way statement piece!
