Raw Material

The pantry cabinet is made of solid fir, a wood typically used in the artisan workshops of Trentino in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries for the production of lacquered Tyrolean-style furniture.

Manufacture

TheTyrolean wardrobe with one door is built, decorated and finished inside the Vangelista Mobili 1960 workshop using the same working techniques used in the Trentino artisan workshops of the 1600s and 1700s. The front part is made of a frame with vertical lateral pillars very large to be richly decorated. The hinges and the lock are in hot-forged hand-forged iron, without the use of welding, hand-punched and reproduced from the originals of the seventeenth century. The most complex part of the workmanship are the decorations, which reflect those of the vintage model coming from the florid Val di Fassa: the base color is Persian red, lacquering and decorations are handmade with natural products, on a base of plaster and lime mixture consumed.
