French 19th Century Painted Bibliotheque / Armoire

About the Item

A French 19th century bibliotheque converted to an armoire with three-dimensional, geometric details and original paint in soft patina. Dentil molding in two scales lifts the narrow crown of the piece, enhancing the height along with fluted molding on the pilasters. Two glass-front doors (with their original panes) feature bottom panels with diamond-shaped applications continuing the architectural references. Using the right door to turn the working lock and key, the doors open onto the divided wardrobe storage which is left in the natural wood grain. A wide shelf at the top supports a retractable valet rod for hanging garments, with shelves to the right for folded or stacked clothing. Cleaned and polished, this thoughtful storage piece is ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images. Top shelf: 46 ¾” W x 9” D Second shelf: 46 ¾” W x 14 ⅝” D Three shelves at right: 23” W x 14 ⅝”
