18th c. Alps Cupboard

France, 19th Century

$1,795

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Rare

From the 1700s to today, this walnut cupboard has seen Villeneuve-lès-Avignon through empires, papal courts, and the quiet churn of daily life. Built in the French Alps and carried south, it’s the kind of piece that held fast while the centuries turned. Tall and narrow with three scalloped shelves and a pair of doors below, its walnut has deepened into a dark, steady grain, edges worn soft by constant use. Sylvie would keep it in a kitchen stacked with earthenware or let it guard an entryway, proof that some pieces don’t just survive history - they carry it. Exactly as pictured, one of one.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

This piece is surprisingly sturdy for its age. Like any piece of antique furniture there are splits and cracks, but it functions perfectly and comes with its own original key. The right bottom hinge is broken, but the door still swings open and closed on the top hinge. As with many antiques, this piece may show gentle repairs, cracks, scratches, holes, years worth of patina, and stains - just the way we like it.
