About the Item

Antique French 19th Century Limed Wardrobe or Armoire with European Imported Chicken Wire Inserts for the doors. We have owned this Antique French Wardrobe or French Armoire for several years and could never decide how to restore it. Typically, these were originally sold as part of a bedroom suite and would have had mirror door inserts. Restoring it back to original would have been too easy for us, so we upped the game by liming the armoire and instead of replaced the broken mirror opted to install some imported wire in the doors. The interior was painted a traditional French green that we've used for years and then aged the paint. Finally, we installed a brass rod to hang your cloths or coats from.  **Sorry, this is your photographer speaking. I've been rushing to show you all we have in a limited amount time. As many of you know, we are currently moving locations. Rushing is an understatement. I forgot to photograph the hidden drawer in the apron. I'm sorry, I'm usually on top of these things, but time got the best of me. My most sincere apologizes. ***Measurements provided include the crown. The body is 47" wide x 16.75" deep.

Antique French Deux Corp Cupboard in Original Finish from Chateau Unrestored
Located in BENSENVILLE, IL
This extremely rare, Antique French Cupboard, is from the Château de Loyat in Brittany, which I believe dates back to the 1500, was in a condition, that Antique dealers can only dream of. The French Cupboard or Cabinet, is exactly what you would expect, a 300-year-old antique French Cabinet to look like, if no one ever touched the finish, let alone restore the Antique Cupboard. Our opinion is, that this Antique French Cupboard or Cabinet, could have been made in the late 1600s or early 1700s and if I did not know that this Cupboard was made from French White Oak, one would have thought it was constructed of iron, based on its weight. Our centuries old French Cupboard, was constructed without the use of any nails or glue, for the entire Antique Cabinet was assembled using wooden pegs. Our Old Plank restoration department, has just completed a 240-hour conservation procedure, wherein lieu of just replacing the old worn wood oak boards, we chose to harden them and only used small fillets of antique French Oak for repair. Yes, this became a labor of love, but for us, to find an antique French Cabinet, in this virgin untouched state, is quite rare nowadays, so, the choice was made to conserve, rather than restore, which required triple the labor.
