Description

This is a very pretty French cabinet, in carved walnut, of petite proportions. The cabinet has two glazed doors, an arched pediment above with a pine lined drawer beneath raised on attractive cabriole legs. The glazed doors have pleated ivory linen curtains fitted to the inside and the interior has three, later added, useful shelves. These could of course be removed to create a hanging space if required. (We can easily fit this with a hanging pole at no extra cost if needed).

The cabinet is in beautiful original condition, the walnut having a really great colour and a wonderful warm patina. Rare to find a cabinet like this with such neat proportions, it measures only 211 cms high including its crest, by 118 cms wide and 44 cms deep. This is a 'knock down' design cabinet too, meaning it comes apart for easy transportation and no problem to get around stairs, through narrow doors etc. It also has a working lock and key.

Beautiful condition and colour. Great petite proportions.

UK can be arranged with our trusted furniture courier and costs £75 plus vat to most destinations.

Date of Manufacture

Rams Head Antiques has dated this Antique French Armoire to the 1880s.

FAQs

Originating in medieval France, the armoire transitioned from a chest used to store armour and weapons into an enclosed cabinet designed for folding and hanging garments as domestic interiors evolved.

Traditional pieces are constructed from dense hardwoods like walnut, oak, or chestnut, utilising traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved decorative motifs, and pegged assembly.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-cut dovetails in any internal drawers, uneven wood shrinkage, hand-forged iron hardware, tool marks consistent with period hand-tools, and a natural patination developed over centuries.

An antique armoire provides a strong focal point in a contemporary bedroom or living space, balancing clean modern lines with traditional craftsmanship, texture, and concealed storage functionality.

Preserve antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, and applying occasional natural beeswax rather than modern silicon polishes.
