About the Item

This exquisite 19th-century French bonnetière, crafted in solid cherrywood, beautifully combines the rustic simplicity of southern bastide furniture with the refined elegance of the Louis XV style—a rare and sought-after balance. The single-door cabinet opens to reveal three fixed shelves, ideal for storing linens or tableware. Thanks to its generous interior depth, it can also be easily converted into a wardrobe for hanging clothes. The door retains its original working lock and key. The iron escutcheon is finely wrought and richly detailed. The upper crosspiece features a rare inlay of precious woods depicting fantastical animals, while the lower scalloped apron is inlaid with a stylized flower vase—both showcasing the craftsmanship and artistic sensibility of the cabinetmaker. The three interior shelves have been cleaned with a 100% natural, biological treatment, eliminating any odors and making the piece perfectly suited for immediate use, even with delicate textiles. The cabinet stands on four solid legs: the rear ones are straight, while the front legs are carved in the signature Louis XV “escargot” scroll style. This type of piece, often commissioned as a bespoke item, was particularly fashionable in the 19th century in southern France. This specific example comes from a family estate in the Loire Valley, a region renowned for its rich artisanal traditions and elegant rural interiors. Recently restored using a fine sandblasting technique (aérogommage), the bonnetière now reveals its original natural patina and the warm, honeyed tones of cherrywood. Its timeless charm makes it a striking addition to both traditional and modern interiors.

Antique Wooden Cabinet Louis XV
Located in Milano, IT
Rare 18th-century wooden cabinet in the style of Louis XV, fine French manufacture. The cabinet is made entirely of fine dark wood, four legs for support. The two legs at the front are more worked and thin, very important, those at the back have classic square strong dorma. The cabinet is developed in height rather than width. Centrally there is only one door all decorated with sinuous wood inlays and squiggly fretwork, very true to the French Baroque style. At the top we see a semi-curved frieze, which lends even more majesty to the product. Inside, it is all covered with antique pink wallpaper...
