French-made wooden auxiliary cabinet from the 1980s with a slatted persiana front, measuring 116 cm high, 21 cm wide and 17 cm deep, in good used condition.
Description from the seller
It's 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 with thin slats remained a valued resource for its blend of discreteness and fluid movement. The wood, with that reddish, polished tone that has aged with dignity, adds warmth and an almost sculptural presence: the upper curve, the front undulating from the succession of slats, and the slightly curved legs give it a more refined air than that of a simple domestic container.
The blind, with its small round handle, invites a soft, almost ritual gesture to reveal the interior. It is a type of furniture designed to organize without showing, to store small everyday objects — stationery, correspondence, accessories — always maintaining an immaculate appearance. Its narrow verticality makes it especially functional in small spaces, and at the same time it gives it a slender silhouette that separates it from more robust models or purely utilitarian ones.
Overall, it conveys that very characteristic mix of the era: modern functionality, careful craftsmanship, and a touch of domestic elegance that makes it approachable and timeless.
Certified shipping and secure packaging.
