Description
This exquisite antique French Rococo or Louis XV style walnut armoire exhibits great style, scale, and superior craftsmanship. The original silvering on the back of the mirrors could be removed (leaving original clear beveled glass) converting this armoire to a bibliotheque or china cabinet rather easily. These armoires were built during a period of affluence when people were building large, two story homes so they were made to break down easily - a definite asset today for people with steep staircases and narrow hallways.This spectacular example is in very nice, fully restored condition and offers great carvings, original beveled mirrors, and outstanding wood. The interior has adjustable shelves, two drawers and, for added security and storage, there is a full width drawer hidden within the apron (so hidden in fact that even our phenomenal photographer missed it). France circa 1880
