19th Century Wood Side Corner Cabinet, Brazilian Vernacular Design
About the Item
This rustic wooden side corner cabinet is not just an authentic representation of 19th-century Brazilian craftsmanship, but a rare find, especially in such remarkable condition. It stands as a testament to the era's utilitarian design ethos, characterized by simplicity and functionality. Crafted from solid, rough-hewn wood, its raw and natural beauty is accentuated by visible signs of age and wear, alongside a patina that eloquently narrates its long history of use.
What sets this piece apart is its exceptional preservation. The single-door design, adorned with traditional iron hardware including a decorative escutcheon and simple strap hinges, opens to reveal shelving that has withstood the test of time, offering not just a glimpse into the past but practical storage space. The cabinet's construction remains sturdy, with right angles and a straightforward form that is exemplary of 19th-century Brazilian interiors, likely the work of a local artisan.
The cabinet’s feet are of particular note - their unique, curved design not only adds an aesthetic element but also serves a practical purpose, elevating the cabinet from damp floors, a crucial feature in the humid Brazilian climate.
In a time where such pieces are exceedingly rare, especially in such well-preserved condition, this cabinet is more than just furniture; it's a cherished relic of a bygone era. Its anonymous creation adds to its mystique, crafted by a skilled yet humble craftsman whose identity has been lost to time. Their legacy, however, lives on in this exquisite piece, a rare and tangible connection to the 19th-century Brazilian way of life

- MID 19th CENTURY PAIR OF CORNER LITTLE SHELVES IN GILDED WOODLocated in Firenze, FIThese two corner little shelves in carved pine wood gilded with pure gold leaf represent a valuable and refined work of Florentine manufacturing from the mid-19th century. Made with high craftsmanship, these shelves combine the functionality of an object for storing objects or decorating a corner of the room, with the elegant and refined aesthetics of the period.

This motif consists of stylized leaves folded and wrapped around themselves, recreating a scenographic sensation of movement and vitality.

- 19th Century French Gothic Sacrament CabinetLocated in Dallas, TX19th Century French Gothic Sacrament cabinet was artfully sculpted from solid oak and fruitwood to create a remarkable religious artifact designed to be appreciated throughout the ages! The trapezoidal form of the casework is in keeping with the Gothic style, which historians concur originated in the Cathedral of St. Denis during the middle of the 12th century. Boldly molded crown follows the complex contours and overlooks the case below which features a single door flanked by cornerposts that feature pilasters facing front as well as the sides, with recessed arched panels topped with recessed circular frames above filled with carved rosettes highlighted in gold. The arched recesses facing the front are also filled with carved floral and wheat motifs also highlighted in gold, representing the Bread of Life. The door panel, however, steals the show, with a gloriously carved relief work depicting both wheat and fully laden grapevines adding the significance of the Blood of Christ...Category
