About the Item

French Armoire in Oak and Brass, Late 19th Century Rooted in the provincial elegance of the Belle Époque This tall oak armoire, dating from the end of the 19th century, embodies the discreet grandeur of Belle Époque provincial craftsmanship—where rural utility was elevated by flourishes of ornament and an enduring sense of proportion. Its façade is composed of broad vertical panels framed in mitred stiles, subtly softened by time. Two elongated brass escutcheons run the length of each door—pierced and chased in delicate vegetal motifs, their patina warm and mottled with age. The scalloped apron and slender cabriole feet are nods to the enduring Louis XV influence that permeated French countryside furniture well into the fin-de-siècle period. Crafted in solid oak and finished in a dry, unvarnished tone, the piece reveals a noble grain with tonal variation and visible age marks—soft abrasions, oxidation near the fittings, and a lightened surface from decades of quiet use. Its joinery is sound, the original brass hinges intact, and the interior cavernous—designed for linen, garments, or household storage in an age before built-in cabinetry. Whether placed in a serene bedroom, a gallery-like foyer, or a wabi-sabi interior layered with material depth, this armoire offers both sculptural presence and storied patina. Available for private acquisition. Inquiries regarding dimensions, interior configuration, or placement consultation are welcome.

Petite Armoire with Diamond-Relief Panels in Oak, France
Located in Split, Splitsko-dalmatinska županija
Slender and architectural, this petite armoire stands with the poise of a column—narrow in stance, yet rich in detail. Its twin doors are carved in sharp diamond-point relief, each facet catching shadow like folded linen or cut stone. The central drawer is chamfered into a prismatic silhouette, echoing the geometries above and below with quiet symmetry. All is held within a frame of softened oak, timeworn to a parchment hue. Attributed to a provincial workshop in the tradition of Art Populaire, the piece reflects a postwar reverence for material integrity and craft discipline. The geometric motifs—reminiscent of Gothic tracery or early Renaissance coffered...
