Found in Avignon, this 20th-century French corner cabinet was built to fit into the angle of a country kitchen, with a curved front door that follows the line of the wood from one wall to the other. Corner cabinets, called encoignures in French, have been a staple of rural homes since the 1700s, made to use the awkward space where two walls meet without giving up floor in the room. Sylvie places it in a dining room corner for storing table linens and the good plates.
Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
Notes from Sylvie:
Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. It includes the original key, has one interior shelf, and the finish is in lovely, gleaming, condition.
