FAQs

A marriage cupboard, or armoire de mariage, was traditionally commissioned as a wedding gift in rural France, often featuring symbolic carvings that represented fertility, prosperity, and union.

These pieces were handcrafted primarily from regional hardwoods such as solid walnut, oak, or chestnut, joined using traditional pegged mortise and tenon construction.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetails, irregular hand-planed surfaces, forged iron hardware, and timber shrinkage consistent with age rather than machine-tooled precision.

Positioning the piece against a neutral, plastered wall allows the rich timber grain and sculptural mouldings to serve as a focal point, balancing historic character with minimalist surroundings.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels away from direct heat sources, and periodically nourish the timber with a traditional beeswax polish to protect the patina.
