About the Item

Two-door painted wardrobe, dated 1804 A refined example of continental cabinet making and decoration: this unique two-door wardrobe from 1804 represents a precious luxury testament within the antique painted furniture category, combining structural rigor with a fascinating, well-preserved figurative pictorial apparatus. It perfectly complements fine Swedish furniture interiors with its warm tones and exquisite presence. Code: A282 Period: dated 1804 Origin: Allgäu (Alpine region) Essence: Spruce wood Height: 192 cm (75.6 in) Width: 144 cm (56.7 in) (176 cm (69.3 in) at the cornices) Depth: 55 cm (21.7 in) (70 cm (27.6 in) at the cornices) Description: Exceptional painted wardrobe structured with a two-door front and chamfered sides. The upper part features a shaped cymatium, centered by a protruding cartouche bearing the "1804" dating. The surface is treated with a gorgeous gray-blue background shade, creating a wonderful rich patina upon which the pictorial decoration is applied. The doors and side panels feature rectangular geometric framing defined by dark moldings and stringers. Inside the four door panels, four architectural landscapes of idealized taste are depicted, characterized by towers, castles, fortifications, and villages set in hilly contexts, executed in gray and white monochrome on a warm orange-ocher background. The connecting areas of the structure, in particular the band below the cymatium and the median portion between the upper and lower panels, are enriched with polychrome floral garlands and shoots, dominated by shades of pink, red, and leaf green. The chamfered corners and sides echo the same geometric and decorative arrangement. The piece retains its original coeval hardware, including large exposed escutcheons and hinges in pierced wrought iron, positioned along the central closure. The escutcheons are particularly refined, featuring finely chiseled crescent decorations with anthropomorphic details, and a fully functional lock complete with its original key. The base rests on flattened onion feet, which support the entire structure, preserving its slender, balanced, and luxury silhouette. Internally, the piece preserves its original layout, with the coeval vertical partition. The interior space can be customized according to your needs with shelves and/or a hanging rail. Work carried out on all our furniture: - Structural restoration: replacement of small missing parts, closure of any gaps in the backboard, consolidation of deteriorated areas, inspection and repair of hardware. - Thorough woodworm treatment. - Cleaning and sanitization of the interiors. - Exterior finish with natural beeswax. - Interior finish with shellac, a natural alcohol-based varnish. Customizations: Upon request, it is possible to agree on: - the desired level of restoration; - the customization of the interior (addition of hanging rails, shelves, dividers, etc.).
