At two thirds of the door we find a crosspiece in the same spirit as the molding in the upper part. A beautiful original cut iron entrance accompanies an original lock and key also in perfect working order. On the right, the original iron hinges have 3 fasteners.
On each side of the facade we observe a slightly rounded foot composed of three flutes ending in a snail foot.
This bonnetière will be noticed by its inlaid crosspieces. The upper crosspiece is decorated with a rectangle composed of boxwood heart elements. In the center, a rhombus mixing light and dark wood is surrounded by wind stars. The bottom rail has the same composition.
The interior of this charming chest of drawers is composed of 4 shelves made of solid wood on cleats and large racks.
The sides of this piece of furniture are equipped with two large panels of vertical wire separated by a small panel of horizontal wire.
The quality of its wood and the finesse of its decorations make this cupboard a remarkable piece of furniture that will delight you with its shimmering color and charisma.
