About the Item

This impressive Provençal fariniero is finely carved in solid walnut and exemplifies the regional craftsmanship of southern France in the early nineteenth century. The tall, architectural form opens at the front with a vertically sliding hatch, richly decorated with deeply carved floral motifs arranged around a central bouquet. The carving continues throughout the façade, with pierced openwork details on the grip and rear pediment, adding both lightness and visual refinement. A simulated drawer on the lower section is ornamented with a carved flower basket, a traditional decorative element associated with Provençal furniture of this type. The piece rests on carved shell-form feet at the front, reinforcing its sculptural presence. The walnut displays a warm, well-preserved patina, highlighting the depth and precision of the carving. Rare to find in such an elaborate and openwork model, this fariniero reflects the influence of workshops from the Nîmes or Arles regions and stands as a highly decorative and collectible example of Provençal furniture.
