Antique Tyrolean cupboard with a natural wood painted background, dated 1766. The two doors are adorned with elegant geometric panels and central sections with a light background, embellished with delicate stylized floral motifs in shades of red, green, and blue. The decorations reflect the traditional Alpine folk art style, featuring tulips and gracefully arranged floral vines. The upper cornice displays a decorative band with painted initials (J.C.F. and A.B.F.) and star motifs. The original hardware includes wrought iron locks and handles. The sides and bevels are accented with painted panels and rustic-style linear and oval motifs. The wardrobe is currently unrestored and will be delivered fully restored, with the option of customization according to the buyer’s preferences.
