Unique piece, no restocking

This exceptional Maidra or Sloping Lid Chest (circa 1850-1880) is a testament to European vernacular woodworking. Originally used in farmhouses for storing grain or flour, its elevated design also allowed it to be used as a writing desk or standing counter.

DESCRIPTION

The piece has been restored respecting its history but adapting it to current interiors:

The Case: It retains its original dark patina, deep and full of character, which highlights the geometric, rhombus-shaped moldings ("Diamond Point").

The Lid: It has been subjected to a hand-stripped wood washing process to reveal the bare beauty of the pitch pine wood, creating a luminous and sophisticated contrast ideal for Wabi-Sabi, Mediterranean or Modern Rustic styles.

Quality Construction Details
Unlike simple rustic furniture, this piece stands out for its sturdiness:

Assemblies: Traditional construction using mortise and tenon with visible wooden pegs (without screws).

Hardware: It features impressive hand-forged iron hinges (strip type), which are not only functional but also decorative, providing that industrial and authentic touch.

Back: Rustic wide-plank finish, a testament to its era.

Decorating Ideas
Thanks to its height (console type), it is much more versatile than a low trunk:

In the Hallway: Perfect for leaving keys and hiding shoes or bags in its large interior.

In the Kitchen: As an auxiliary island or pantry unit with a lot of character.

In a Restaurant/Shop: As a reception counter or support furniture.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Is the furniture real furniture with history or is it new?

All our furniture and decorative objects are antique or vintage restored in our workshops, which makes them unique and exclusive pieces.

Can I change the color of a piece of furniture?

Yes, we can customize the color of a piece of furniture. This change requires an additional budget.

What is the color of the furniture?

The photographs are taken with neutral calibrated light and are environment photos to obtain an approximation to the color as real as possible.
