Tyrolean single-door cabinet, made of fir and dated 1743 on the upper panel. The structure features posts with beveled corners and conforms to the construction criteria of 18th-century Alpine cabinetmaking. The piece is characterized by a lacquered surface in a warm tone, embellished with molded geometric panels on the door and side panels. The painted decoration includes stylized floral motifs, including a central tulip, and symmetrically arranged scroll-like plant elements. The paintwork was restored in the 20th century.
