!!!Almer

Almer (lat. armarium = cupboard), name of a farmer's cupboard for 
storing food; usually one door, in some cases with drawers, usually 
undecorated, often with a lock; older forms of the Almer had a 
pediment on the top. Variations include the table Almer (called 
"Stubenkasten" in Vorarlberg), Speis-A. (food cupboard, in 
Pustertal/Val Pusteria in South Tyrol), Wand-A. and Winkel-A. (wall 
and corner cupboard) also called "Ganter" (Italian "cantero" = food 
cupboard) in Carinthia.
