Antique French Louis XVI Triple Painted Armoire ~ DIsplay Armoire

About the Item

Antique French Louis XVI Triple Painted Armoire ~ DIsplay Armoire is a magnificent ode to the neoclassical style, rendered in fine hardwoods and mahogany then finished in a neutral paint that has achieved a lovely patina over the decades. Starting at the crown, which exhibits exquisite reverse contour and three distinct bands of molded detail including banded wheat motif, the crown elegantly flares out at the back side to follow the casework design creating a complex but alluring detail. The base molding was crafted in the same contour for continuity. In between, there are two side doors with lattice panel, a carved trim panel, and 2/3 framed wire mesh to allow a modicum of display. In between, a massive full length beveled mirror is enhanced with laurel swags, rosettes and ribbons carved at the top. All three doors are mounted with classic pierced brass key guards. Doors open to reveal cavernous storage within, creating a second closet for the room. Support is provided by six finely turned and carved legs. Circa early 1900s Measures 83H x 67.5W x 19D Available for pickup in the Dallas Design District, Dallas, TX.

  • French Louis XVI Style Parquetry & Bronze Antique Armoire Wardrobe ca. 1880
    Located in Shippensburg, PA
    LOUIS XVI STYLE PARQUETRY-INLAID ORMOLU MOUNTED ONE-DOOR ARMOIRE Paris, France circa 1880 lock stamped "B & P Paris", back of one mount stamped "L.P." Item # 403BDA14P This exquisite Louis XVI style armoire is a picture of the high precision cabinetwork the French ébénistes of the 19th century were capable of producing. Crafted in Paris in the last years of the 19th century, the cabinet is finished on the top with an original marble top shaped to conform to the cabinet profile. This is raised by a thin crown of egg-and-dart molding over a repeating greek-key border executed in solid brass. The front door is a brilliant display of parquetry inlay work, an extraordinarily complicated arrangement that comes together flawlessly: the kingwood veneer ground is set diagonally while being bookmatched down the center to create symmetry - a form that is more fully developed in the sides of the case where these diagonal veneers are set into rectilinear and square panels for greater effect. This surrounds a rosewood and stringer-inlaid border encasing a latticework of rosewood astragals over squared lighter hue woods. The application of the veneers is so convincingly executed - note the curves of the rosewood inlays where the grain of the wood twists to create spirals that appear to layer upon one another. In the center of the door is a large ormolu mount of a Neoclassical urn with bacchus masks on either side raised over a pierced footer embellished by foliage. This door opens using only a key, as there is no knob or pull hardware to allow access to the space. The interior is a very spacious and simple arrangement that allows clothing to be hung while valuables and smalls are stored in the cupboard at the top. No keys are presently available for the door or the interior cupboard, but if locking the armoire is important than having keys fabricated is never terribly difficult and can be done by our shop upon request. The lock is marked on the inside by the fabricator "B & P Paris", while one fo the rosette mounts on the corners of the cabinet is marked "L.P." A magnificent example of Parisian craftsmanship from the late 19th century, this is a very fine armoire of ideal dimensions for both function and aesthetically. Unlike so many armoires and wardrobes...
