About the Item

The French custom of a father's gift to his newborn daughter was the crafting or purchase of an armoire carved with symbols of plenty and happiness, which stored her trousseau to use in her own home once she married. Crafted from oak, this beautifully carved, two-door, wedding armoire features grapes, flowers, foliage, and harps. The sides have raised panels. Supported by cabriole and block legs, the armoire is nearly eight feet tall. At one time, the interior of the armoire had shelves, but most of them have been replaced with a bar for hanging clothing below the top shelf. The original hardware includes large hinges and a decorative escutcheon.
