Antique French Louis XVI Triple Painted Armoire ~ DIsplay Armoire

Antique French Louis XVI Triple Painted Armoire ~ DIsplay Armoire is a magnificent ode to the neoclassical style, rendered in fine hardwoods and mahogany then finished in a neutral paint that has achieved a lovely patina over the decades.  Starting at the crown, which exhibits exquisite reverse contour and three distinct bands of molded detail including banded wheat motif, the crown elegantly flares out at the back side to follow the casework design creating a complex but alluring detail.  The base molding was crafted in the same contour for continuity.  In between, there are two side doors with lattice panel, a carved trim panel, and 2/3 framed wire mesh to allow a modicum of display.  In between, a massive full length beveled mirror is enhanced with laurel swags, rosettes and ribbons carved at the top.  All three doors are mounted with classic pierced brass key guards.  Doors open to reveal cavernous storage within, creating a second closet for the room.  Support is provided by six finely turned and carved legs.
Circa early 1900s
