Antique French Bonnet Top Armoire in Chevron and Oyster Pattern Cherrywood c1800

About the Item

Antique French Bonnet Top Armoire in Chevron and Oyster Pattern Cherrywood early 1800’s The French would refer to this armoire as in the style of “chapeau de gendarme crown”. Defined by the “bonnet top crown” and is highly preferred in lieu of the more common flat top. However, what really sets our Antique French Armoire apart, are the Chevron Pattern doors coupled with the Oyster Cherry wood detailing above and below the doors. Only the highest quality French Armoires would be adorned with such incredible veneer work. The hardware is beautifully constructed from solid brass and has a wonderful all original patina to it and yes, even the door key functions. We were lucky enough to be able to repurchase this Antique French Cherrywood Armoire after not seeing it for decades. The previous owners who we sold it to kept it in their living room and fortunately never installed any electronic devices, so there are no unsightly holes drilled in the cabinet. Truth be told, it looks exactly how we sold it almost 30-years ago and we virtually only had to dust it and apply a light coat of beeswax. The Armoire was made in the late 1700’s or early 1800’s and shows little in the way of previous restoration, rather we would guess it enjoyed a privileged life. We described our Antique French Cherrywood armoire as of course being constructed from Cherry, but as is typical in France the sides inset panels are made from Chestnut and this was a fairly common practice. This is one of the nicer French Armoires we have had in quite some time and it’s easy to forget what a really good one looks like. **Measurements provided include the crown. The body is 51.75" wide and 21" deep.

Antique French Louis XVI Style Bookcase, or if you prefer, Antique French Ebonized Bibliotheque made from solid mahogany over 100-years ago to a very high standard. We have had our share of antique, or supposed to be Antique French mahogany Louis XVI style bookcases, however most tend to be constructed during the 1950’s. This Antique French Ebonized Bookcase is the real deal and is a genuine antique, which our inhouse Old Plank restoration department beautifully restored, with an old school ebonized finish. The French Louis XVI bookcase was completely disassembled (makes for easy ingress and egress), hand-stripped to the bare mahogany wood, restored as necessary and refinished in this deep black Napoleon III style ebonized and brass exterior. One can only imagine what the house must have looked like, or maybe I should have said chateau, where this elegant Antique Louis XVI Bookcase...
