FAQs

Originally developed in medieval Europe, armoires were large cupboards primarily used for storing weaponry, before evolving into domestic furniture for garments and linens during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from regional hardwoods like oak, walnut, or chestnut, featuring traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon, hand-carved detailing, and pegged frame construction rather than modern metal fasteners.

Authentication relies on examining tool marks, timber shrinkage, hand-cut joinery, iron or brass hardware consistency, and the presence of natural oxidation and patina consistent with age.

Positioning the piece as a focal point in a minimalist or modern room creates a striking architectural contrast, allowing the historical craftsmanship and natural wood texture to stand out against neutral walls.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, avoid direct sunlight to prevent timber fading, and periodically apply appropriate natural wax to nourish the wood surface without sealing it.
