Alpine painted wardrobe in fir wood, with two doors, featuring a solid structure and compact proportions. The cabinet shows chamfered sides and turned feet shaped like flattened onion forms.
The surface is entirely decorated with a dominant oxidized blue color scheme, alternating with central and side painted fields in lighter tones, framed by fine borders and linear motifs.
The front doors are articulated by vertically painted panels, with stylized ornamental elements arranged symmetrically. A similar decorative language is found on the sides, conceived as autonomous narrative surfaces, in formal continuity with the front.
The projecting upper cornice is enriched with a polychrome decorative band that visually completes the piece, while the lower cornice echoes the chromatic rhythm of the rest of the structure.
Restoration Work Carried Out
Structural restoration: reconstruction of small missing parts, closure of any cracks on the back panel, consolidation of weakened areas, inspection and repair of original hardware.
Careful anti-woodworm treatment.
Internal cleaning and sanitation.
External finish with natural beeswax.
Internal finish with shellac, a natural alcohol-based varnish.
