Louis XV period (18th century) French solid walnut armoire with stylized carvings that trace the dramatic paneled doors and serpentine apron, giving this large storage piece its historic character.

The doors open by working lock and key to reveal three shelves ranging from approximately 20 ½” to 22 ¾” deep with the middle shelf latching to the left door for safety. Note that the dowel rod appears to be a more recent addition, giving one the flexibility of either hanging or folded storage. A shallow, wide drawer at the base uses handforged iron ring pulls to slide open and a very unusual escutcheon at the center shaped like a star. The sinuous lines of the swelled apron transition into short cabriole legs, another signature of the Louis XV taste for refined, yet playful touches. From its graceful curves to robust proportions and charming patina, this Louis XV armoire will bring a comforting presence to any home. It has been cleaned, tightened, and polished with a French paste wax to be ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images to see more and the current condition.

Italian 18th Century Painted Wardrobe
$6,995.0066.75"H x 45.50"W x 26.25"D
Dimensions: 66 ¾” H x 45 ½” W x 26 ¼” D
An 18th century painted wardrobe from northern Italy, displaying a particular Tyrolean-Germanic folk art style of marriage furniture, hence the charming illustrations to celebrate the happy union. The large, rectilinear volume of the wardrobe is enlivened by a grain-painted faux bois finish of energetic swirls and squiggles that long for more precious woods than the pine construction underneath. A wide door is paneled with two cartouches that enclose the polychromatic illustrations of garden urns overflowing with tightly composed floral arrangements. Forged iron hardware of working lock and hinges both inside and out are equally as expressive as the painted decoration. The interior is fitted with a top shelf that spans the full width and depth, over a brass hanging rod set 11” from the back which may not be original to the piece but enhances the functionality of the armoire for many storage needs around the home. Gently cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to preserve every unique feature, this endearing piece of storage furniture is ready for its next home. Be sure to view all of the detailed images as they are an essential part of the description.
French 19th Century Pine and Glass Door Bibliotheque
$11,500.0099.50"H x 111"W x 20"D
Dimensions: 99 ½” H x 111” W x 20” D
A capacious, 19th century French Louis Philippe style bibliothèque, handcrafted of pine with a row of four glass-front doors for displaying treasured books, heirlooms, and other collections in a living/dining room, office or library. The clean, linear order and golden color allows this timeless design to fit any number of historic and transitional decorating tastes. Behind the two pairs of locking doors are eight interior shelves (8 ¾” deep) which are adjustable on sawtooth brackets to easily reconfigure as needed. Some panes of glass, if not all, are 20th century replacements. The lower cabinet projects an additional 7 ½” inches from the top shelves customary on a buffet à deux corps, creating a shallow ledge over the four doors enclosing the divided interior which follow the order of the upper body. Each pair of doors work in tandem by a lock & key and both compartments have a stationary shelf, approximately 16” deep. This striking storage piece has been cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to bring out the rich grain pattern and historic patina, ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images. One key included.
French 18th Century Massive Louis XV Carved Armoire
Dimensions: 102” H x 71” W x 27 ½” D
Louis XV period (18th century) French solid walnut armoire with stylized carvings that trace the dramatic paneled doors and serpentine apron, giving this large storage piece its historic character. Below the straight cornice is a thin frieze over a pair of arched doors that mirror each other’s Arabesque outline around the paneling. A wide pilaster in between (an extension of the left door) is punctuated at the center by a quatrefoil design. The doors open by working lock and key to reveal three shelves ranging from approximately 20 ½” to 22 ¾” deep with the middle shelf latching to the left door for safety. Note that the dowel rod appears to be a more recent addition, giving one the flexibility of either hanging or folded storage. A shallow, wide drawer at the base uses handforged iron ring pulls to slide open and a very unusual escutcheon at the center shaped like a star. The sinuous lines of the swelled apron transition into short cabriole legs, another signature of the Louis XV taste for refined, yet playful touches. From its graceful curves to robust proportions and charming patina, this Louis XV armoire will bring a comforting presence to any home. It has been cleaned, tightened, and polished with a French paste wax to be ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images to see more and the current condition.
