Beautiful painted wardrobe, with two doors, entirely painted in blue.
On the doors there are four panels containing rich cups of multi-colored flowers. The same motifs are repeated, with some color variations, on the jambs, notches, cornices and sides.
The doors are softly shaped in the upper part. Of particular value is the shaped and carved stop, culminating in a capital with acanthus leaves, just below the date of construction, clearly visible in the center of the cabinet.
This wardrobe can be divided into two parts, vertically, in order to facilitate transport.
Beautiful hardware: key, lock, hinges, left door latch, all original and working.
