Item Description
This striking French armoire forms part of a beautiful bedroom suite that I sourced on a recent buying trip to Paris. Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, it reflects the period's fascination with Japonisme, combining elegant proportions with exceptional craftsmanship.
The oak carcass is faced throughout with beautifully figured bird's-eye (burr) maple and enriched with meticulously executed faux-bamboo rails, corner posts and pediment finials. The full-length mirrored door not only enhances its elegant appearance but also brings excellent light and a greater sense of space to a room. Inside are two adjustable shelves (supplied), an internal drawer and a generous locking base drawer, providing practical storage.
The original lock and key are present. The warm honey-blonde tones, crisp detailing and well-balanced proportions make this a versatile statement piece, equally at home in a bedroom, dressing room or even a hallway. Designed to come apart for transport and straightforward installation, it is as practical as it is handsome.
Better still, this armoire was accompanied by the matching French meuble de toilette (dressing chest) and a pair of matching 4ft bedsteads, available separately, making this a rare opportunity to acquire an increasingly scarce and remarkably complete bedroom suite. Dimensions: H 232.5 cm × W 110 cm × D 47 cm.
