About the Item

Make a striking focal point in your home with this fascinating “all-in-one” antique blanket chest, bench, table, and display cabinet! Crafted in the French Pyrenees from solid oak and reclaimed pine, this rare piece, known locally as a “Zouzoulou” or “Zuzulu” (a Catalan term for this unique multi-functional form, pronounced Zoo-zoo-loo), is as sculptural as it is functional. The cabinet features a slanted top, deeply hand-carved geometric panels on both front and back, and forged wrought iron hardware throughout. It includes a large bench trunk with interior storage and center divider, a fold-down table for dining, writing, or playing cards, and open shelving on both sides for display. A lower hatch with decorative hinges offers additional concealed storage, enhancing its practicality. Richly patinated in warm walnut tones, the Zouzoulou exhibits superb craftsmanship and timeworn character, complete with natural distress, original ironwork, and a beautifully aged surface that speaks to its anncient origins. A true conversation piece that embodies the rustic charm and ingenuity of the Pyrenean region. Measures: 98” W x 21” D x 79” H
