About the Item
This French Provincial armoire from the 18th century is absolutely breathtaking in every detail. Stylistically the armoire reflects Louis XV taste, with a number of unexpected features that transcend time and place to still capture hearts and imaginations in the modern interior (with the scale to accommodate this monumental work). A classic bonnet-top cornice arches gently around the crown of the case over towering, paneled doors that open smoothly on steel barrel hinges. Tracing the curvaceous panels of the doors (and implied pilaster between them) is the most exquisite, pinstripe inlay of alternating dark & light wood tones with intermittent “checked” squares like a gameboard for a geometric counterpoint to the sinuous lines. One, very large key operates the locking right door and acts as a pull. The left door hooks from the inside to keep it in place when closed, fitted with an intricate iron crank to operate the vertical latch piercing the upper and lower part of the frame. Inside are three proportionate shelves, 61” W x 19 ½” D, for ample storage of clothing or linens. The center of the serpentine apron is marked with a “Kolovrat” icon, the ancient symbol like a spinning wheel that signifies movement, growth, the sun, and life cycle to bring luck and protection. Scrolling motifs morph into escargot-style feet that raise the piece from the floor. Note there is some loss to the apron just behind the front-left foot, please view the detailed images to appreciate all the special features of this remarkable antique armoire. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, ready for your interior.
