Sacristy cabinet; French School; second third of the nineteenth century. Carved walnut wood. Measurements: 200 x 106 x 43 cm. Sacristy cupboard made of walnut wood profusely carved. The piece is divided into two parts of which the lower one is supported by four chamfered ball feet. A molded base as a projecting cornice gives way to the central body which is divided into three vertical and two longitudinal sections. The pieces have Renaissance-inspired decorative elements on the fronts, with vegetal motifs and grotesques. The upper zone of the piece is marked with another cornice on the sides of which there is a cherub's head as a caryatid. The upper zone follows the aesthetic models of the lower area, although in this case it is dominated by a large niche that originally served to house the image of a saint. The sides, dominated by doors, present the Virgin and a saint in relief.
