Standing 2.30 m tall, its particularly slender silhouette makes it a unique piece while maintaining a small footprint.

materials: made of solid oak, this cabinet has a beautiful natural patina. Its door combines a solid panel at the bottom with a large glazed section at the top.

features: the cabinet opens with a large glazed door at the top and has four fixed shelves for displaying books, dishes, or collectibles. Its former function as a clock explains its unusual proportions, being particularly tall and narrow. The molded cornice that crowns the cabinet emphasizes its verticality.

restoration: the cabinet was completely sanded and cleaned, then left in its raw wood state. The solid pine shelves were custom-made and stained.

dimensions: w70 x d38 x h231 cm interior: w54 x d29 x h218. Spacing between shelves from top to bottom: 62-36.5-36.5-36.5-39
