standing an impressive 240 cm tall, the solid oak carcass is veneered throughout with a variety of walnut woods, arranged in a lively, richly figured pattern that plays with grain and light across the two large doors. The gently arched door panels, articulated moldings, and finely proportioned cornice give the piece a strong architectural presence, while the generous interior offers substantial storage space, still fully functional today.

having undergone professional restoration, the wardrobe retains the depth and warmth of its original patina while being structurally sound and ready for immediate use.

a rare, large-format piece of baroque furniture, ideal as a statement in a spacious hallway, bedroom, or period interior, equally impressive in a classic or eclectic contemporary setting.
