A Primitive Cupboard from the Apennine Mountains of Italy

An extraordinary primitive cupboard found in the Apennine Mountains , near the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy.

A four door cupboard made from thick slabs of chestnut.

This piece had already won me at first sight , then I opened the doors…the interior is the colour of dark treacle , the shelves are thick slabs of gnarled ancient chestnut, the edges have been worn and softened. The catches are heavy original wrought iron.

An incredible soulful, rare piece of furniture.
