Designed to be as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing, it offers ample storage space and convenient modularity for everyday use.

features: this large art nouveau wardrobe consists of two independent cupboards in the upper section, the right-hand door featuring an antique beveled mirror. Inside, it has six shelves, adjustable in height thanks to a rack and pinion system. In the lower section, the wardrobe has four drawers: three small ones stacked one below the other and one larger one below. The locks on both doors are functional.

restoration: the cabinet has been completely sanded, then washed, and finally protected with a clear varnish that highlights its naturally mottled maple. The veneer has undergone minor repairs. It has also been treated against wood-boring insects.
