Painted fir wardrobe, dated 1825 and originating from the Tyrolean Alps.
The structure is solid and symmetrical, featuring an upper cornice adorned with carved floral motifs and resting on red-painted bun feet.
The entire front surface is divided into vertical panels painted with flower vases, arranged in a strict yet decorative layout over a light blue background bordered in coral red. Additional floral decorations are also found along the stiles and on the sides of the piece.
On the upper frieze, a white Gothic-script inscription on a red background displays a traditional proverb, whose meaning is:
“God lets the sun shine upon honest men.”
At the center, elegantly painted in calligraphic style, are what are likely the owner’s initials (“INNM”) and the date “1825”.
