French 18th Century Solid Walnut Armoire

About the Item

A French carved, solid walnut armoire built in the Louis XV period. A Chapeau de Gendarme cornice tops the body of the armoire. Two solid walnut doors have shapely carved panels creating a gorgeous façade with style-matching, recessed panels. The carvings on the exterior include a fleur de lis, star, and shell motifs, typical of rococo decoration. The doors are hung on large steel barrel hinges with long pierced steel escutcheon plates and open to a massive storage space with four fixed shelves measuring 17” deep. The sinuous lines of the scalloped apron continue to the antique’s carved escargot feet in classic Louis XV-style. A single key is present. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, this antique is ready for your immediate use. Be sure to view the detailed images to see the current condition.
