The lower section includes two drawers and a shelved two-door cupboard, all adorned with intricate linen fold and Gothic-style carvings.

Historical Charm
Crafted from solid oak, the cupboard showcases the rich, warm tones of the wood, complemented by blacksmith-made iron fittings that add to its authenticity and charm. The solid panelled back ensures durability and stability, while the overall design reflects the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
