About the Item

Antique French Louis XVI Walnut Bookcase ~ Display Armoire is a majestic example of the neoclassical revival that captivated the attentions of Louis XVI and his Queen Marie Antoinette. Crafted from fine French walnut, it features a rectilinear architecture enhanced by rounded corners on the top which are carved in bold relief with floral sprays, which when combined with the bold crown molding creates a framework for the relief carvings on the bonnet. The bonnet carving depicts an archer's bow intertwined with rose garlands, and overlooks the pair of outside-hinged cabinet doors below fitted with glass affording a splendid view of the keepsakes and books you may wish to display. The doors are separated by a stile adorned with parquet from top to bottom, interrupted at the middle with a relief carving of a Romanesque urn with foliates encircled with the trim molding. Note the rich beauty of the walnut even on the side, which are comprised of solid panels of the luxurious wood. If you act fast, a matching armoire is available! See Related Products below left.
