About the Item

An eye-catching small cabinet from the mid-19th century, crafted in the Moorish style and dating to circa 1890. This architectural piece features two upper drawers over two lower cupboard doors, each fronted by bold and deeply molded geometric star motifs that are mirrored on the side panels. The intricate three-dimensional carvings are finely executed and retain their original iron drop handles. The cabinet wears an evocative old painted surface in layered hues of ivory and faint blue with charming areas of distress, lending depth and authenticity to its aged character. The proportions are compact, making it ideal for use as a side table, accent chest, or console in an eclectic or global-inspired interior. Handcrafted using traditional joinery techniques, this cabinet reflects the rich cultural synthesis of Moorish design, where geometry, symmetry, and ornament converge.
