An antique Tyrolean single-door wardrobe, crafted from solid fir wood and dated 1743 on the upper frieze. The structure features uprights with chamfered corners, reflecting the fine construction standards of 18th-century alpine cabinet-making. The piece showcases a warm, rich lacquered surface finish, enhanced by molded geometric reserves on the door panels and side panels. The artistic ornamentation includes stylized floral motifs, featuring a central tulip, and symmetrically arranged voluted vegetal elements. Original and fully functional hardware.
