This antique wooden cabinet combines a simple country silhouette with a soft color palette for charming results. Made in Central Europe in the 19th Century, a circular metal grille in the center of the cupboard door indicates that this piece would have originally been used as a larder: a cool, dark place in which to keep food fresh, before the invention of refrigerators. The painted surface of the wood has weathered with time into a unique patina of pastel tones — cream, sage, robin’s egg blue, with a touch of apricot and rose. A fine craquelure unites these complementary hues into a sweetly nostalgic composition.
