Vintage Shabby Chic Display Cabinet in Off-White | Provencal Style with Carved Top Frieze

• Structurally checked
• Adjusted and reinforced where necessary
• Hand-sanded
• Custom color in our workshop
• Furniture ready for use

In a closed cabinet, good china waits for a meal that almost never comes. Storing and displaying are not the same.

This stripped vintage display cabinet was made in the second half of the 20th century, following the French Provencal model: a curved pediment, glazed arched doors, and also glass sides. It was made when pediments were still carved rather than molded.

The pediment is topped with two carved relief corbels (open flowers on leaves), with a punched background to ensure the carving retains its own shadow. The door crossbars describe an S-curve: each piece was cut separately to follow that line.

Visible brass hardware: long hinges on the edges, two pierced keyholes, and a lock with its key. Inside, the back is a frieze of vertical slats, in the same off-white, and three glass shelves with wooden profiles in that same tone. Four display heights.

124 cm wide, 64 cm deep, and 210 cm high. The width is that of the cornice: the main body measures 107 × 57. The wall space is calculated at about 124; a door opening at about 107. At 210 cm high, it needs a ceiling of 2.30 m to breathe. In a spacious living room, dining room, or at the end of a long hallway, it organizes the entire wall.

Unique piece. Once sold, it will not return.

WHAT ISN'T MADE TODAY

→ The background of the carving, punched stroke by stroke to give the relief its own shadow. This is what separates a carving from a mold, and the first thing to disappear when someone machine-sands it.

→ The glass on the sides. Most display cabinets of this height have blind sides: here, light passes through the furniture from side to side, and 210 cm high does not close off the room.

→ The S-curve of the crossbars, cut bar by bar. This is the line that reveals its Provencal origin.

RESTORED IN OUR WORKSHOP IN NAVALCARNERO, MADRID

The entire structure was checked, and the two doors were adjusted, which, in a piece of furniture of this height, tend to sag under the weight of the glass itself. The hinges were checked, the lock with its key was verified, and it was hand-sanded, taking care of the punched background of the carving: mechanical sanding rounds and dulls it in two passes.

The color is ours, and we say it clearly. Off-white outside and inside, hand-painted and then distressed on edges, pediment, and plinth until the wood is exposed. It is not a patina of use: it is a workshop distressed finish. The structure is firm, the doors close perfectly, and the finish is sealed.
