About the Item

Armoire in Aged Oak, France, 1940s Evoking the devotional architecture of French provincial craftsmanship Standing with quiet authority, this tall French armoire from the 1940s reveals a verticality rarely encountered in provincial cabinetry—its proportions narrow and reverent, its surface marked by a sculptural rhythm that suggests both utility and ritual. Crafted from aged oak in a natural, unvarnished finish, the single door is articulated by five carved panels, each centred by a compass-style rosette—symbols long associated with celestial order, guidance, and spiritual protection. These concentric medallions, flanked by subtle stepped moldings, animate the façade with a sense of cadence and contained ornament. Likely produced in a regional French workshop steeped in prewar or interwar traditions, the piece reflects a transitional vernacular: between 19th-century ecclesiastical forms and the stripped-back practicality of early 20th-century rural modernism. Patinated hardware, hand-wrought hinges, and a faint warm cast to the wood speak to its authentic age and unhurried history. The oak is dry to the touch, with visible tool marks, tonal variation, and softened edges preserved in accordance with the gallery’s light-restoration ethos. Structurally sound and rare in format, this armoire offers a poetic storage solution—ideal in vertical niches, bedrooms, or contemplative studio interiors. Available for private acquisition. For additional images, provenance notes, or shipping details, please inquire with our curatorial team.

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...
