Late 19th Century Brazilian Cabinet from Petrópolis

About the Item

Late 19th Century Brazilian Cabinet from Petrópolis – Unique Blue Glass Pulls Offered here is a striking Brazilian cabinet dating from the late 19th century, originating from the historic imperial city of Petrópolis. Crafted in solid wood, this piece beautifully reflects the stylistic transition between Empire and early Republican furniture in Brazil, with its elegant proportions, geometric simplicity, and subtly Gothic-inspired apron detail on the lower doors. The cabinet features two upper drawers adorned with gracefully carved fronts, each fitted with rare, original cobalt-blue glass pulls—an exquisite detail that adds a refined burst of color and sophistication. Below, the double doors open to reveal ample internal shelving, perfect for storing linens, tableware, or personal treasures. A raised back-shelf with scalloped edges and delicately shaped supports completes the ensemble, providing additional display space for porcelain, silver, or decorative objects. Resting on traditional turned feet, this cabinet exudes both functionality and charm, making it ideal for a hallway, dining room, or even a country kitchen seeking a sense of heritage. The wood’s patina has been carefully preserved, and its warm tones speak to over a century of gentle use and quiet grandeur. A true relic from the mountain retreat of emperors and nobility, this Petrópolis cabinet is not only a functional piece of storage but also a statement of timeless Brazilian craftsmanship. Pieces with this provenance and intact original hardware, especially the vibrant glass pulls, are increasingly rare.
