Unusual tall and narrow vintage shoe cabinet, sourced in France and estimated to date from the 1970s. The cabinet features nine individual tilt-out compartments, each fitted with a small wooden button handle. This type of hinged, space-saving shoe storage was particularly practical for narrow hallways and entrances.
The cabinet is made of wood and has been repainted at some point in its life in a soft, pale green colour. The contrasting brown top and small wooden handles give the piece plenty of character.
A date is painted on the back of the cabinet; however, we have doubts about whether this marking relates to the actual production date of the piece. Based on its construction and overall appearance, we estimate the cabinet to date more likely from the 1970s. Comparable wooden shoe-storage cabinets with tilt-out compartments are documented from this period.
The cabinet remains in vintage condition, with visible traces of use, paint loss, marks and irregularities throughout. These have deliberately been retained as part of its character and history.
