Authentic Country French or Provincial furniture from about 1780, this historic armoire is solid fruitwood, delicately hand carved with traditional artistic motifs and graceful moldings. Every plank is hand hewn and planed, some are diagonally sawn. Feet have been restored, perhaps 100 years ago.
Warm and satiny, the rich finish is excellent with glowing patina. Doors lift off original hand-wrought hinges and the crown can be detached to facilitate moving. Corners are secured with hand-carved wooden pegs. There are repairs and losses as would be expected on a true antique of this age, there is lots of character - mars, stains, wood beetle holes. There is an old working lock with giant key.
The empty interior could be fitted with shelves on the crossbars on the side, or with a closet pole as desired. This rugged and usable antique furniture measures 4'7" wide, 26" deep and 7' 10 1/2" tall.
