Large sacristy sideboard from the late 18th or early 19th century. Rhine-French border region (Rhineland, Moselle region, Flanders). Solidly crafted in oak. Restored, including shortening of cabinet depth. Originally, the piece was used to store high-quality vestments, robes and cassocks, as well as antependia and other liturgical objects in the sacristy of a church. Since the precious vestments were mostly made of brocade and pure silk and therefore had to be folded as little as possible, the dimensions of the piece had to be correspondingly wide and deep. Today, this authentic, one-of-a-kind piece is ideal as a spacious sideboard and an absolute eye-catcher in living rooms, shops and restaurants alike. Classic design and clear lines are combined here with traditional craftsmanship and the beautiful texture of old, natural light oak wood. Traditionally crafted in a studded construction, the oak body has side panels with a smooth skirting board and a slightly protruding top panel. The front is symmetrically divided by one large and two smaller drawers, corresponding to a double door flanked by two single doors. The front edge of the top, drawer fronts and door frames are profiled. Original external hinges and iron fittings are fitted. Large sacristy sideboard from the late 18th or early 19th century.
