Historical notes and mobile curiosities

The upper class in Trentino ordered this type of furniture, in modest size but richly decorated, in order to put it inside their residences, especially in the hallways. According to Vangelista Mobili 1960’s informations, the single leaf door hand-decorated 17th century tyrolean cupboard was used as a bookcase or a document case in the rooms where children studied. Nowadays we can find this piece of furniture both in mountain homes and modern apartments, thanks to the contrast with home modern furnishing that enhances the cupboard’s characteristics.
