The cupboard has a very rustic appearance and shows plenty of character. The cabinet is painted with different motifs in mainly beige colors. The decorative frames are painted grey-blue. What is striking is that the right side is painted in a slightly different color, although this still looks like paint from that period. The inside has two shelves and coat hooks, this is the original layout, you can easily add shelves if desired. The lock is no longer present, but the doors can be neatly closed with a hook. In the past, it was customary to give bridal furniture like this as a gift to the couple at a wedding. This furniture was subsequently placed on the farm in a stately room that was only rarely used for high-ranking visitors or special occasions. A beautiful and decorative piece of history. The cabinet can be dismantled (two parts). The date is around the year 1800. 179cm high, 130cm wide, 50cm deep. See less
