Picardy drainer in cherrywood
Picardy, XVIIIᵉ century

Rare and authentic Picardy solid cherrywood drainer, a remarkable witness to the traditional domestic furniture of Picardy in the XVIIIᵉ century.

The interior retains its layout designed to receive and dry dishes, in keeping with the original function of these pieces of furniture that have become particularly sought-after today.

The front is completed by a storage drawer and an openwork lower section characteristic of regional drainers. The molded jambs, cut-out feet and beautiful antique hardware contribute to the balance and charm of the ensemble.
