Alpine Blue Painted Wardrobe with Floral Panels, 19th Century

A striking 19th-century Alpine painted wardrobe, entirely decorated in a rich, timeworn blue with contrasting oxidized white panels. The two doors feature four beautifully hand-painted cartouches, each depicting overflowing urns of colorful flowers, berries, and stylized birds, a joyful expression of regional folk art. The warm, earthy tones of the painted sides include simple geometric motifs, adding quiet contrast and depth to the overall composition.
The wardrobe retains its original interior layout, including shelves and compartments, which can be customized with additional shelving or a clothes hanging rod to suit modern needs. A rare and practical feature: the cabinet is constructed in two vertical sections, allowing for easier transport and installation without compromising its structural integrity or visual presence.
All hardware, including locks, key, hinges, and wooden knobs, is original and fully functional, offering both security and historic charm. Raised on shaped bracket feet and finished with a bold molded cornice, this piece is a fine example of Alpine rural craftsmanship, blending functionality with expressive decoration. It’s a distinctive and versatile piece for collectors and interior designers alike.
