French walnut single door display armoire in Louis XV style c.1890

This wonderful armoire was crafted in France circa 1890.

Made of warm walnut, it has been converted from an armoire to a display cabinet featuring a shaped door with a large piece of oval beveled glass. The interior has 3 glass shelves and one lined bottom shelf. It has also had the later addition of lighting installed to enhance your personal treasures within.

What is really wonderful about this piece is the exquisite craftsmanship and quality of the carvings and woodwork throughout. It has quarter veneered side panels, foliate carvings and mouldings, original brass hinges and escutcheons, all resting on short carved cabriole legs. The piece’s real crowning glory is the carved cartouche at the top, which is a quintessential embellishment for many pieces from the Louis XV era. The detail in this piece is exquisite.

Use this in a bedroom as a wonderful display for handbags, jewellery, and shoes, or in a living area to show off special porcelain, glassware, books, or other treasures.
