Model Description

Model Structure

This double leaf door hand-decorated '600 baroque Tuscan cupboard with drawer has a linear structure in shapes and big dimensions. Behind the doors, there is a clothes hanger, a shelf in the lower part as a pantry and a massive drawer as a boxes or blanket container. The manufacture of the back, with a cross framework, is a plus. The frame is supported and lightened by 4 bracket feet, handcrafted in typical sienese manufacture.

Raw Material

The cupboard is completely made of three crossed layers in solid spruce, in order to avoid dilatations and structural variations over time. Suitable for decorations and chalk drafting thanks to the soft-fibre.

Manufacture

The frame is completely saffron yellow. On the doors there are floreal and baroque polychromatic patterns. All colours are perfectly matched: the yellow background, the sea green contour lines and beige panelings inside the decorations. The old-fashoned look is emphasized by the consumed “gesso Bologna”. The final drafting with a white beeswax protects and maintains the decorations of this cupboard.

Size of the model in the picture

Available in size 140x60x220h. The item is completely customizable for structure (doors, drawers), sizes and decorations.
