Description:
Alpine painted wardrobe with two doors, entirely painted in light blue. The upper cornice is softly shaped and the doors follow the same curvature. The latter are depicted with rich cups of flowers, containing roses, tulips, carnations, primroses and bells, and the typical Tyrolean hearts wrapped in a floral garland with apotropaic symbols. Ramages and floral decorations are present on the entire surface and on the notches.

Inside, the wardrobe offers ample space, which can be customized with the addition of shelves and/or a clothes hanger pole.

This antique Alpine wardrobe painted in light blue presents itself as a sturdy and solid piece of furniture, typical of the Italian mountain regions, with a solid wood structure and craftsmanship that reflects local tradition and culture. The light blue paint, slightly worn by time, gives the wardrobe a charming and nostalgic look.

The doors of the wardrobe are decorated with intricate floral patterns, hand-painted with great care and skill. In the center of each door, elegant and stylized cups stand out, painted in a slightly darker shade to create contrast. The cups are filled with an abundance of flowers, each of which is depicted in vivid detail: roses with their soft and nuanced petals, tulips with their elongated shape and bright colors, carnations with their delicate fringes, bellflowers with flowers in the shape of small hanging bells, and primroses, small and delicate, which add a note of freshness.

Around the cups of flowers, other decorative motifs extend, such as curling leaves, tendrils and small buds, filling the space with harmony and balance. The colors used for the flowers are bright and contrast beautifully with the light blue background, creating a visual effect that captures the attention and invites you to discover every detail.

The wardrobe as a whole exudes a sense of serenity and natural beauty, perfect for bringing a touch of authenticity and warmth to any space.
