An authentic piece of French furniture with a beautiful patina, crafted using traditional artisanal techniques from high-quality materials. This cabinet was likely originally used to store tableware or linens in an upscale household.

The cherry wood body made in stud construction, exclusively using wooden joints, featuring side paneling, and a front divided into three levels by four lockable doors and a middle section with two drawers. Rounded, fluted corners and a curved, profiled base frame terminate in volute-shaped feet. The doors are made in frame construction with french herringbone panels and are hung on external iron hinges. The drawers are exceptionally solid, joined with dovetail joints. Three differently designed inlaid stars adorn the front along the central axis on the base, the drawer section, and the cornice. The top is crowned by a profiled cornice.

Inside, the cabinet is equipped with 2 shelves.
