Brocado cabinet

This cabinet is made in solid Cabreúva wood, it is a multifunctional piece with a timeless design that values Brazilian artisanal work.

The traditional embroidery exudes the fabric and falls on the bronze glass to fill up the door of the Brocade Cabinet Vitrine, made in solid Cabreúva wood. The tones of the naturally dyed yarns recall the colors of the paintings found in the churches and historic houses of Tiradentes (MG), probably made in the second half of the eighteenth century when the Rococo style, that came from Europe, brought with it lightness and light.

The embroidery on the glass is the work of the artisan D. Maria Conceição de Paula, who with delicate hands and determined spirit is always willing to tread new paths.

This is part of Yankatu's Artisans collection. To create them Maria Fernanda Paes de Barros researched the Brazilian colonial traditions in the historic city of Tiradentes, Minas Gerais and went through numerous immersions with the local artisans.

As all the pieces produced by Yankatu, it is accompanied by its soul, a certificate of authenticity in the form of a small book that tells about the inspiration that gave birth to it and leaves blank pages so that its story can continue to be told by those who acquire it, turning it into something more, which does not change with fashion, which does not go by with time. To the contrary, it will move on from a generation to another, from hand to hand, each time with more stories to tell, each time incorporating the lives shared by it.

The wood comes from nature, each one is unique, with its veins, knots and tones. Because it is a natural material it suffers with the climate change, so cracks and shifts in color may emerge over time. The wood can also warp sometimes due to a large variation in relative humidity of the air. This aren’t defects on the contrary, all of this is considered normal.

The objects that appear in the pictures are not a part of the Brocade Cabinet Vitrine.
