Nantaise Cherrywood Wardrobe, Louis XV Style – Part 1 of the 19th Century

This superb regional armoire, known as a "gendarme hat" (cap) cabinet, elegantly embodies the aesthetic of the Louis XV style. Crafted from solid cherry wood, it opens on the front with two majestic medallion doors. These doors, slightly projecting from the legs, are each securely held in place by three brass pins. The cabinet is secured by an original lock in perfect working order, complete with key. Long, finely chiseled brass doors with flowing lines adorn the front and highlight the attention to detail. Between the two doors, a central pilaster stands out, topped with two decorative elements with three flutes. The upper crosspiece is delicately carved with a basket of flowers, an emblematic motif of the Louis XV style. The understated cornice lends the piece an understated elegance. The sides of the wardrobe are composed of canted uprights, decorated with stopped fluting, which end in the lower part with "snail" feet. The interior, currently equipped with a shelf, can accommodate two additional shelves or a rod according to your needs, thus offering great modularity. With its warm color, generous storage capacity, and timeless lines, this Loire-style piece will appeal to lovers of antique furniture looking for a piece that is both functional and authentic. ******** Period: Early 19th century.
