This exquisite pair of Italian corner cupboards from the Louis XV period, dating to the mid-18th century, is indeed a noteworthy find. The design showcases the era's hallmark characteristics, featuring a solid poplar wood structure, split into two sections for effortless maneuverability. The lower base with its elegantly curved legs supports the upper portion with a beautifully rounded door. The delicate, hand-painted floral decorations adorning the pale lacquer front add a touch of timeless charm and sophistication.

Despite their modest dimensions, these corner cupboards offer practical storage solutions, with an upper internal compartment featuring a shelf, and a small lower open compartment. The rarity of finding such cupboards in pairs, especially in good condition, cannot be overstated. While they do exhibit minor wear reflective of their age and use, this only adds to their authentic historical appeal.

The light hue of the lacquering ensures these pieces can seamlessly integrate into a variety of decor styles and color schemes. However, it’s essential to verify that the dimensions—each side measuring 50 cm (19.685 inches)—fit perfectly into your designated corners.

We envision these corner cupboards enhancing a country house by adding a layer of refinement and elegance, subtly complementing the rustic charm of a natural setting.
