Empire mahogany and bronze armoire – France, 19th century

A majestic piece for lovers of history and imperial elegance. This superb Empire-style armoire in flamed mahogany dates from the end of the 19th century and is distinguished by its rich bronze ornamentation: antique-inspired female busts, winged figures carrying urns, a laurel wreath, lion-paw clogs... And an imperial eagle overlooking the central door. Each element recalls the influence of the "Return from Egypt", that breath of exoticism and grandeur born of the Napoleonic campaigns. It opens with three doors, one of which is glass, ideal for displaying objects, dishes or books. The interior is equipped with numerous shelves, perfect for organizing your treasures with refinement. Details: Flamed mahogany with a deep and warm grain Rich period bronze decorations Beautiful patina of the wood and bronzes Discreet signs of use, consistent with its age Very good structural condition. Why we love it: Because it embodies everything we love about the Empire style: nobility, power, architectural rigor... With that mysterious note from the Egyptian desert. A rare and sculptural piece that commands respect in any interior, whether classic, Haussmannian or completely contemporary. Dimensions: Width: 166 cm Depth: 42 cm Height: 179 cm.
