About the Item

Make a grand statement with this monumental Louis XIV period armoire from the châteaux region of the Loire Valley, France. Crafted circa 1760, this stately wardrobe exemplifies the refined architectural symmetry and restrained ornamentation of the Louis XIV style. Built of richly grained fruitwood, the armoire stands over ten feet tall on classic bun feet and is crowned with an impressive stepped cornice of bold proportion. The front features two paneled doors adorned with deeply carved geometric moldings and shaped arches in cascading tiers, framing the natural beauty of the wood grain. The doors open to reveal spacious interior shelving for ample storage, retaining the original forged iron lock, key, and crémaillère (shelf adjuster). A large lower drawer with its original iron pulls provides additional functionality, all framed within crisp molding details that extend along the base. This important and exceptionally well-preserved armoire is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, boasting a warm, lustrous walnut patina acquired over centuries. Both architectural and functional, it would make a stunning focal point in a bedroom, dining room, or grand entryway. Measures: 75” W x 29” D x 124” H.
