Early 18th Century Walnut and Olive Wood Armoire from Eastern France
Located in Dallas, TX
This unique armoire from the early 1700’s was made from walnut and olive wood and features a plinth base with central cherub mascaron along the crown. At just under 86 inches tall and 78 wide at the crown, this armoire has a more manageable size, compared to many of the very large armoires of the same period. The unique construction allows it to be easily disassembled for transport.
At one point, this walnut and olive wood armoire was the property of a chocoladefabriek (chocolate factory) in Strasbourg, located in the region of Alsace, near the German border. It was originally one armoire in a pair that were commissioned in Eastern France in the early 1700s. The ebeniste who created the armoire decided to use olive wood for the door panels and some of the side panels. Olive wood was a highly valued wood among wood workers of the 18th century because of its pretty color and the richness and nuances of its veining.
In the center of the crown is a foliate and floral ring surrounding a cherub mascaron. The crown and the top of the door frames have both been carved in an arch, mirroring the shape of the door moldings. Each door is mounted on iron hinges and separated by recessed molding into three uniquely shaped panels of olive wood (the rest of the armoire is constructed with walnut). Both upper panels of the doors are adorned with a series of undulating C-scrolls, while the bottom panels are rectangles with concave tops. The two sections are separated by a simple ovate center panel.
Armoires date back the 17th century when French menuisiers created the storage cabinet to house clothing. Early armoires such as this one were without feet (plinth style base) and were often seen in paneled boiserie...

Pair of Early 18th Century Walnut and Olive Wood Armoires from Eastern France
Located in Dallas, TX
This rare pair of walnut and olive wood armoires is from Eastern France. The armoires were specially commissioned in the early 1700’s and at one point were property of a chocoladefabriek (chocolate factory) in Strasbourg, located in the region of Alsace, near the German border. The set is considered a near pair, as the tops of the door panel moldings were carved with subtle differences. The ebeniste who created these decided to use Olive wood for the door panels, and two of the side panels. Olive wood was a highly valued wood among wood workers of the 18th century because of its pretty color and the richness and nuances of its veining.
In the center of each crown is a foliate and floral ring surrounding a cherub mascaron. The crown and the top of the door frames have both been carved in an arch, mirroring the shape of the door moldings. Each door is mounted on iron hinges and separated by recessed molding into three uniquely shaped panels of olive wood (the rest of the armoires are constructed of walnut). The upper panels of the doors are adorned with a series of undulating C-scrolls, while the bottom panels are rectangles with concave tops. The two sections are separated by an simple ovate center panel.
The insides of the armoires are not the same: One armoire is lined with floral paper and has three shelves separated by a center vertical divider. The second armoire is unlined without shelves. Two old stickers can be seen in one armoire. One sticker is an old shipping tag from the Imperial Railway of Alsace-Lorraine, which is in German. France ceded the region of Alsace-Lorraine to the German Empire under the terms of the Peace Treaty of Frankfurt following the Franco-Prussian War. The other tag is hand-written, with mention of Mr. Schaal “chocoladefabriek” indicating these armoires were once owned by the Schaal chocolate factory in Strassburg (Strasbourg, France). The chocolate factory was founded in 1871 and is still operating today.
Armoires date back the 17th century when French menuisiers created the storage cabinet to house clothing. Early armoires such as these were without feet (plinth style base) and were often seen in paneled boiserie...
