About the Item

This 19th-century French "Berle" bonnetière is a rare example of Cévenol folk craftsmanship from the Ardèche region. Traditionally used for storing clothing or linens, the Berle is distinguished by its unique construction - its back panel carved from a solid chestnut tree trunk, highlighting both the strength of the wood and the ingenuity of rural artisans. With its tall, narrow silhouette and honest, rustic aesthetic, this piece embodies the authenticity of mountain life in southern France.
