Made of oak featuring Louis XIII styling with scalloped top and floral carved door with long hinged hardware.

A confiturier is a versatile cabinet that was traditionally used to store jams and marmalades in France. Confituriers are often smaller than buffets or chests of drawers, making them suitable for storage in any room.
From the thirteenth to the nineteenth century, we preserved in honey, sugar or vinegar, all the wonders that we grew in gardens, orchards and vegetable gardens. The term “jams” (confitures) thus encompassed a wide variety of preparations made from flowers, herbs, berries, fruits and vegetables, likely to delight the guests in any season. The term jam also referred to candied fruits, fruit jellies, jellies, marzipans, pastilles and dragees. These sweets were not renamed “confectionery” until the 19th century.
Specifically to store these varied delicacies, all therefore classified in the category of jams, pieces of furniture called “confituriers” came to complete the range of family furniture at the dawn of the 18th century.
It is no coincidence, this period corresponds to the democratization of the use of sugar, until then delivered at a high price exclusively in pharmacies of apothecaries. At the end of the 17th century, this “white gold” made its massive entry into grocery stores and, consequently, into many more homes.
If these jam cabinets were originally the prerogative of wealthy families, they too have gradually democratized and made their appearance in peasant families who made it a point of honor to offer this type of furniture to newlyweds.
