Traditionally used to store important items, the paulownia here brings a sense of calm and simplicity. It consists of two upper compartments with sliding doors and three lower drawers with original metal handles. The warm patina, visible grain, and subtle signs of time enhance its character without overwhelming it. A simple and balanced piece, ideal as a low cabinet, sideboard, or storage element in contemporary interiors seeking meaning and authenticity. It is in excellent condition, except for the characteristic imperfections of any antique, due to the passage of time.
