A versatile piece of French furniture, repurposed from a walnut coffre hand-carved in the 1700s. The small cabinet measures roughly 17 x 14, making it an attractive option where space is at a premium.
Old hinge marks can be seen on the back, indicating that some of this section was once the back of a storage chest. It is likely that the façade was part as well, as evidenced by the high level of carvings. A series of leafy stalks grace the entire front, surmounted by a carved rectangle with several layers of undulating molding. Within is a large rosette surrounded by an oval of egg and dart with roundels inside whorls. The frontage also serves as a door, opening to reveal a single shelf. Four bun feet have been added beneath the protruding molding of the apron, giving the cabinet a height of just over 19 ½ inches, allowing it to be used as a tabouret, footstool, or side table as well.
