About the Item

Louis XV Solid Walnut Armoire, Late 19th Century – Heritage from the Loire Valley, France This exceptional Louis XV solid walnut armoire, dating from the late 19th century, is more than just a piece of furniture: it is a piece of French history. Originating from the Loire Valley, a region world-renowned for its majestic castles and refined art of living, this armoire combines outstanding craftsmanship, prestigious provenance, and timeless elegance. This armoire was designed for a family of notables, wealthy landowners in the Loire Valley.

A Masterpiece of 19th-Century Craftsmanship The artisans of the 19th century, masters in their craft, designed this armoire with remarkable attention to detail: Hand-carved motifs: The upper and lower crosspieces of the doors are richly adorned with floral and scroll motifs characteristic of the Louis XV style, a tribute to nature and elegance. Rebounding cornice: An architectural detail that enhances the armoire’s majesty. Traditional joinery: Techniques such as mortise-and-tenon joints and dovetail drawers ensure the durability and longevity of the piece. Original patina: The solid walnut, carefully selected for its rich and warm grain, has been subtly worked to reveal its natural beauty. Functional Interior and Features: Three spacious shelves. Perfect for organizing linens, precious items, or family archives. Large interior drawer: Ideal for storing bulky or delicate items. Three-point locking mechanism: An original and fully functional system, ensuring optimal security. Handcrafted ironwork: Two large wrought iron hinges provide smooth and sturdy door operation.
