A superb and rare dressoir or serving coffer with significant visual impact, crafted entirely from Solid Oak and dating back to the Late 18th Century (c. 1700s). This piece of furniture is not only functional but represents a true work of popular carpentry and carving.

• Material: High-quality Solid Oak.

• Period: Late 18th Century (c. 1780-1800).

• Features: The structure stands on four carved, tapering legs. The central body features panels with rich and complex figurative bas-relief carvings, likely depicting religious, allegorical, or rural life scenes typical of the popular art of the era. The upper section is fitted with a slanted hinged lid/top (or with two top doors) that traditionally functioned as a bread/storage bin (Madia) or as a working/writing surface. The two iron (or dark wood) rings on the front complete the robust and elegant design.
