Tyrolean Painted Wardrobe, dated 1817

Tyrolean Painted Wardrobe Among the antique Tyrolean furniture, this painted closet represents a testimony to Alpine production, with floral decorations on an oxidized blue background. Code: A278 Age: dated 1817 Provenance: Tyrol Essence: Spruce Height: 185 cm Width: 140 cm (160 cm at the frames) Depth: 51 cm (61 cm at the frames) Description: Painted Tyrolean cabinet made of fir wood, with two doors, solid construction and compact proportions. The cabinet has bevels on the sides, with turned feet in the shape of a flattened onion. The surface is fully decorated with a dominant oxidized blue color scheme, interspersed with central and side backgrounds in lighter shades, framed by fillets and linear motifs. The front doors are punctuated by painted vertical panels, with stylized ornamental elements arranged symmetrically. Similar decoration is found on the sides, treated as autonomous narrative surfaces in formal continuity with the front. The projecting upper frame is enriched by a polychrome decorative band that visually concludes the cabinet, while the lower frame echoes the color score of the rest of the structure. Interventions carried out on all our furniture: - Structural restoration: restoration of small missing parts, closing of any cracks on the back, consolidation of deteriorated areas, inspection and repair of hardware. - Thorough woodworm treatment. - Interior cleaning and sanitizing. - Exterior finishing with natural beeswax. - Interior finishing with shellac, a natural alcohol-based varnish.
