An exceptionally charming piece of furniture in a classic design, crafted using traditional craftsmanship and featuring a beautiful warm patina.

A two-part, linear oak body with panelled sides, featuring sturdy square stiles adorned with pilasters. The base unit has three lockable doors in  frame and panel construction, as well as three solid drawers crafted with dovetail joints. Diamond-shaped ornaments carved directly from the wood (not simply applied) adorn the front. Set back on the slightly projecting top panel of the base cabinet stands the two-door upper cabinet with a glazed front featuring muntins and a cornice. Inside, the cabinet features a continuous shelf in the lower section and two further shelves in the upper section. Large, ornate handles on the drawers and hand-forged heart-shaped key escutcheons on the doors complete this piece.
