A two-door painted fir wood wardrobe dated “1840”. The antique piece features a structure with canted corners and is surmounted by a projecting molded cornice, finished with a faux marble decoration in shades of ochre and gold. The main chromatic background is a dusty blue with a rich patina.

The front is defined by geometric panels. Each door houses two large brick-red background panels, within which polychrome floral compositions centered by tulips are depicted. In the intermediate space between the upper and lower panels of each door, there is a floral decoration that frames the shaped iron keyholes. The central meeting stile is painted with a light faux wood motif, creating a visual dividing line.

On the two canted corners, light-background panels develop vertically, painted with phytomorphic motifs, racemes, and stylized flowers.
