Rare Painted Wooden Furniture, Swiss Cabinet With Two Bodies From The 18th Century

Rare 2-part painted wooden cabinet from the 18th century, of Swiss origin.
The entire piece of furniture is painted in a dominant "fir green" color.
This piece of furniture is made up of 2 parts.

The lower part in the shape of a chest of drawers has 3 drawers with turned wooden handles and has a lock on the central drawer in painted wrought metal.

The upper recessed part forms a cabinet and opens with a door decorated with beautiful wrought iron hinges providing a large space.
This has a 1/2 shelf and a row of 3 small drawers in the upper part. This piece of furniture with authentic decoration is painted on the front of each drawer and on the central door with hunting scenes, featuring hunters, dogs and game, in a decor of forests, architecture, lakes and mountains.

The door of the cabinet is framed by 2 baroque twisted columns, the whole topped with a cornice in openwork scrolls, painted in faux marble.

2 particularities distinguish this piece of furniture: - the interior of the cabinet and drawers has kept its original relief wallpaper.
- the lock of the central drawer has a very original mechanism in 2 turns, which condemns the top drawer on the first turn of the key and the bottom drawer on the 2nd turn.

18th century piece of furniture, with a certain charm, remaining true to its era and its Swiss origin.
