Chiffonier

[Marquetta]

A chiffonier (or cheffonier) is a piece of furniture differentiated from the [sideboard] by its smaller size and by the [enclosure] of the whole of the front by doors. Its name (which comes from the French for a rag-picker) suggests that it was originally intended as a receptacle for [odds and ends] which had no place elsewhere, but it now usually serves the purpose of a sideboard.

[Tina]
