Description

Fabulous 18th.c. French oak wardrobe or armoire c.1760. Large two door cupboard fitted inside with three shelves (depth 16?). Wide carved cornice over an exceptional decorative front. Carved frieze above the door featuring an overflowing basket of roses, symbol of love and happiness (armoires were often marriage pieces), carved and pierced in semi relief and flanked with shallower carved roses to each side. More roses burst exuberantly from above and below the gracefully shaped door panels and feature again on the centre frieze together with other flowers. The doors are mounted with long brass plates featuring birds (possibly peacocks) over architectural elements and hang from the original oversized brass hinges. Shaped and carved feet and an unusual apron carved with curled ferns. Oak panelled sides and back. Excellent condition and particularly good colour, cleaned and waxed in our workshops. Key supplied.

Please note for delivery though the cornice lifts off and the doors and shelves can be removed, the body of the armoire is one piece.

Dimensions: width (at cornice) 67½", depth 18", height 86½".
