Description from the seller

This 19th-century Spanish cupboard, dating from the era of Cervantes, is an exceptional piece of domestic furniture that reflects the functionality and craftsmanship of traditional carpentry. Made from hard oak wood, it stands out for its durability, nobility, and natural aging, which gives it an authentic patina and unmistakable historical character.

Its design reveals that it is the upper part of a larger piece of furniture, possibly a credence or sideboard, intended for food storage. The doors are made of turned bars at the top and a diagonal lattice framework at the bottom, allowing air circulation and protection against direct light, ideal conditions for storing bread, fruits, cheeses, or cold cuts in times when refrigeration did not exist.

The visible signs of use, such as wear, scratches, and variations in the tone of the wood, only serve to reinforce its authenticity as an antique object. This cupboard not only fulfills a practical function but also stands as a living testament to everyday life in the Spanish Golden Age, with a sober and robust aesthetic that has withstood the passage of centuries. A true gem of antiquity, preserved with dignity.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
