An impressive French Empire-style armoire from the early 1800s. The pronounced cornice makes a statement above the pair of paneled and carved doors all crafted of solid, book-matched walnut with diamond shaped panels. The doors open on long steel barrel hinges by a working lock and key to a fitted interior with three, 19” deep shelves and one long drawer inside. Below the doors is another long drawer that spans the width of the armoire using ornate ring pulls incorporating a pair of fairies and floral motifs to add a touch of fantasy to the otherwise monumental cabinet. Note the wood has been cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to maintain the historic character, ready to join your interior. Please view the detailed images to see more.
