Wooden auxiliary cabinet from France, dating to the 1980s, with a narrow vertical silhouette and a louvered front named Persiana, measuring 116 cm high, 21 cm wide and 17 cm deep, in good used condition with minor signs of age and imperfections.
Description from the seller
It is an auxiliary piece of furniture that embodies very well that practical and elegant aesthetic of the second half of the 20th century, when the slatted blind was still valued for its mix of discreteness and graceful movement. The wood, with that reddish, polished tone that has aged with dignity, adds warmth and a nearly sculptural presence: the top curve, the front undulated by the succession of slats, and the legs slightly arched give it a more refined air than that of a simple domestic container.
The blind, with its small round knob, invites a soft, almost ritual gesture to reveal the interior. It is a type of furniture designed to organize without displaying, to store small everyday objects — stationery, correspondence, accessories — always maintaining an impeccable appearance. Its narrow verticality makes it especially functional in small spaces, and at the same time it gives it a slender silhouette that sets it apart from more robust or purely utilitarian models.
Overall, it conveys that characteristic mix of the era: modern functionality, careful craftsmanship, and a touch of domestic elegance that makes it approachable and timeless.
Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
