Highboard - Wood

Rustic carved two-door wardrobe - 19th century.

Tall two-door wardrobe, made of darkened wood identified as mahogany, featuring abundant carved decoration inspired by historicist styles. The front is arranged in six rectangular panels, each decorated with a large central rosette and fan-shaped motifs in the corners.

The side uprights are filled with a series of circular panels, while the upper and lower friezes feature geometric motifs and stylized arcades. The top is finished with a molded cornice, and the base rests on small, flattened spherical feet. The doors retain pierced external hinges, keyhole escutcheons, and hanging metal pulls.

The interior has an upper shelf and a clothes rail, the latter possibly being a later addition. The decoration combines Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Gothic references with elements characteristic of European rustic furniture.

Style: historicist Neo-Renaissance, with a rustic aesthetic.
Probable origin: Western Europe or the Iberian Peninsula.
Materials: mahogany, iron fittings.
