Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1850s:
Pegged mortise and tenon joints across the frame: early cabinet making.
Full-length iron fiche hinges on the doors: fits mid-nineteenth-century French regional work.
Hand-sawn backboards of irregular width: timber conversion before mechanical milling.
Natural shrinkage gaps along the fielded panels: wood movement over many decades.

This Louis Philippe style armoire from 1850 stands as a practical storage wardrobe constructed from warm brown cherry wood with pegged joinery. The double doors display arched fielded panels framed by curved mouldings, accompanied by full-length iron hinges and decorative metal escutcheons down the centre. Above the doors, the frieze exhibits inlaid floral motifs in a vase shape, complemented by a wavy apron and carved details along the bottom edge, alongside fluted upright corners. Measuring 216.5 cm high, 139.5 cm wide and 62 cm deep, the piece offers substantial capacity for clothing organisation. Inside, a shelf sits above the midpoint, providing a traditional interior layout suitable for use in a bedroom or dressing room as a wardrobe or linen cupboard.

FAQs

Originating in France during the reign of King Louis Philippe (18301848), this style features clean, understated lines, soft curves, and simple mouldings. Cabinetry from this era relies on the natural grain of rich woods rather than heavy carving or gilding.

French regional armoires were commonly constructed from solid hardwoods such as cherry, oak, or walnut. Cabinetmakers utilised hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, peg construction, and hand-forged iron hardware including decorative keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic period armoires exhibit hand-sawn markings on rear panels, pegged joints at structural framing points, and period-correct iron locks or long hinges. Natural timber shrinkage and authentic surface wear around handles and base mouldings also indicate age.

An armoire functions well as a focal point in a master bedroom, guest room, or wide hallway. Contrast the warm timber tone against neutral plaster walls and minimalist contemporary soft furnishings to highlight its silhouette.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year using a soft lint-free cloth to nourish the timber. Keep the furniture clear of direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement and finish fading.
