Details
A stunning Hamilton Conte high cabinet from the iconic Manolo collection featuring exquisite decorative fabric door facades and signature tapered brass legs shaped like high heels. One of the most distinctive pieces from this acclaimed Paris-based luxury furniture house.
The design celebrates Art Deco influence with a contemporary French twist — ornate grey-taupe fabric panels with classical motifs framed in dark espresso oak. The sculptural brass legs (which give the cabinet its "Manolo" moniker as a playful homage to legendary Manolo Blahnik stiletto heels) create striking presence and sophisticated charm.
This is statement furniture that brings personality, luxury, and conversation to any interior — from contemporary to transitional to eclectic spaces seeking that refined European touch.
PROFESSIONAL-GRADE CONSTRUCTION:
Features professional Würth concealed hinges throughout — the German-engineered hardware standard specified by Europe's finest furniture manufacturers. Würth components cost 3-5× more than consumer alternatives but deliver precision engineering and lifetime durability. This detail alone confirms the cabinet's provenance as professionally manufactured luxury furniture rather than mass-market production. Each hinge is wrapped in a removable leather cover for serviceability and aesthetic refinement.
Hamilton Conte furniture is handcrafted in Portugal using traditional European artisan methods. Each piece is made-to-order through private designers with extended lead times of 12-16 weeks and typically retails new for $12,000-$15,000 AUD in Australia.
The Manolo collection exemplifies Hamilton Conte's design philosophy: storytelling through furniture, emotional connection to space, and the marriage of artistic elements with functional design.
