18th century

Sold by Tom Scott Antiques

Description

Charming late 18th century French chestnut panelled Normandy low armoire with inlaid five pointed star motif.

Being of a smaller proportion than usual, this armoire will fit in well as a hall coat cupboard as well as for bedroom storage. Internally, there is a full width hanging rail with a shelf below (also two slim drawers under the shelf), so it can offer great storage but with style.

This armoire is a good depth, so internally there is enough depth for a standard hanger.

Wonderful colour to the chestnut and oak panels to the sides. Original brushed metal door escutcheons and drop hinges too.

The cornice lifts off as do the doors, so ground floor access is easy enough and most staircases no problem too…if you have a difficult staircase do let me know as I can dismantle the armoire and rebuild it upstairs, but delivery would have to cost a little more as I would need to bring along a second pair of hands. Any queries, don’t hesitate to call or email.
