A 19th-century rustic Portuguese low cabinet in wood and iron, with two drawers and two doors.
Description from the seller
Rustic Portuguese cabinet in solid wood and iron - 19th century.
Low rectangular cabinet made of darkened chestnut wood, with two upper drawers and two front doors. The fronts, doors, and side panels are profusely decorated with symmetrically arranged molded geometric panels.
The projecting top, with rounded corners, is secured by large exposed metal studs. The doors are mounted on shaped external hinges and retain a central sliding iron bolt. The drawers have drop handles mounted on decorative backplates, also made of iron. The interior is divided by a shelf.
The geometric decoration, sturdy construction, and handcrafted-style hardware draw on Iberian rural furniture models from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Likely period: 18th century
Style: Rustic Portuguese, inspired by 17th-century design.
Likely origin: Portugal or the Iberian Peninsula.
Materials: chestnut wood, secondary wood, and iron hardware.
Dimensions: 77 × 124 × 38 cm.
In good condition, with a patina from use.
