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. Commissioned from a renowned local cabinetmaker, it adorned the master bedroom of their family home, surrounded by vineyards and enchanting landscapes.
Passed down through generations, it served to preserve precious embroidered linens and ceremonial garments, reflecting the traditions and lifestyle of a family deeply rooted in the history of this iconic region. This careful transmission has preserved its authenticity and original patina, giving it a unique and irreplaceable character.
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.

French Country or Farmhouse Chic: Ideal for a romantic and cozy décor, evoking French rural homes.
Modern Eclectic: A statement piece that elegantly contrasts with contemporary elements.
Classic European Elegance: Perfect for a refined interior with quality furniture and objects.
