About the Item

Louis XV period (18th century) French solid walnut armoire with stylized carvings that trace the dramatic paneled doors and serpentine apron, giving this large storage piece its historic character. Below the straight cornice is a thin frieze over a pair of arched doors that mirror each other’s Arabesque outline around the paneling. A wide pilaster in between (an extension of the left door) is punctuated at the center by a quatrefoil design. The doors open by working lock and key to reveal three shelves ranging from approximately 20 ½” to 22 ¾” deep with the middle shelf latching to the left door for safety. Note that the dowel rod appears to be a more recent addition, giving one the flexibility of either hanging or folded storage. A shallow, wide drawer at the base uses handforged iron ring pulls to slide open and a very unusual escutcheon at the center shaped like a star. The sinuous lines of the swelled apron transition into short cabriole legs, another signature of the Louis XV taste for refined, yet playful touches. From its graceful curves to robust proportions and charming patina, this Louis XV armoire will bring a comforting presence to any home. It has been cleaned, tightened, and polished with a French paste wax to be ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images to see more and the current condition.
