Bombe Walnut Burl & Rosewood Antique Triple Armoire
SOLD
A "bombe" or convex shaped triple armoire is magnificent quarter-matched walnut burl with rosewood and satinwood inlaid banding. The lustrous finish is excellent with wonderful deep rich patina. Sometimes called "oyster" burl, there are minor mars and chips at the edges.
Dating from about 1900, there is "smoke" from age on the original beveled and shaped mirror. Robust and very usable furniture, the large drawer has hand-cut dovetails. Center and left sections have closet poles, the right section has shelves, and this graceful armoire could be configured inside as desired.
Bronze hardware is original, and this substantial piece disassembles for moving. Dimensions are 7' 2" wide, 27" deep and 7 1/2' tall.
