The closet is made entirely in the light-colored fine wood frame, rectangular in shape. In support is a very beautiful dark single base. Typical elements of Buffa's design.
The doors are developed in height and the four central ones each boast a mirror. At each meeting of the mirrors there is a woven brass decoration, culminating in a leaf decoration, apt to open the door, very elegant and beautiful. The two side ones have no mirror, but proudly display the wonderful wood of which they are made. The shape is beveled rectangular, with an absolutely wonderful sinuosity.
The side doors have a brass lock that allows it to be opened and closed. Keys are present and are made of patinated brass.
Let's move on to describe the interior: the middle two house a high bar apt for storing coats and long dresses.
The right side doors contain a 3-drawer chest of drawers, made of wood with mirrored decoration. All have a carved semi-circle at the top to allow them to be opened. More clothes and coats can be hung above.
The doors on the left, on the other hand, contain an identical but 5-drawer chest of drawers. On the side are 4 brass holes for laying umbrellas, something absolutely unobtainable.
The closet, as you can see, is not suitable for any room, but only for elegant rooms with the typical vintage taste. See less
