Description from the seller
Impressive and monumental oak cabinet executed in high-quality Gothic Revival style, dating to the 19th century. The piece has a strong architectural presence and is clearly inspired by medieval ecclesiastical furniture.
The cabinet is constructed in two separate sections (upper and lower part) and built using traditional woodworking techniques, including mortise-and-tenon joints and wooden dowels. The hinges and locks are hand-forged and fittings are traditionally made.
The design is defined by strong vertical paneling, architectural detailing and a central niche, giving the cabinet a pronounced ecclesiastical character. Due to its scale, mass and proportions, this is not a decorative side piece but a true statement object, suitable for a classic interior, historic property or architectural setting.
The cabinet comes from long-term family ownership and has always been used as a functional piece of furniture. According to family tradition it may have originated from a church or rectory environment; however, no written documentation is available and this is mentioned for context only.
The interior and back are sober and functional, consistent with period craftsmanship. The surface shows an authentic, untouched patina, with no known recent restorations.
