Description:
Two-door wardrobe, from the Bavarian Alps, painted in intense blue. On the front, four framed panels contain floral decorations with sunflowers. It is very rare to find decorations with this type of flower in alpine furniture. The entire surface of the furniture features other floral decorations and orange-red panels, which create a pleasant chromatic contrast with the background blue, giving the whole elegance, color and warmth. Large drawer in the lower part of the cabinet. Of particular interest are the hardware, original and functional, including the fine hinges of the doors, hand-forged and applied externally, as a further decoration to a piece of furniture with a great scenic effect. This wardrobe has never been restored but is in excellent condition. The new owners can decide what interventions to carry out and the internal arrangement according to their preferences and intended use.
