Art Nouveau wardrobe with a shelf, decorated with distinctive floral sculptures. Stained and refinished by professionals. The combination of "La Porte" and "Barmen" (a district of the German city of Wuppertal) does not refer to a furniture manufacturer as such, but to a manufacturer of hardware and locks for furniture that played an important role in history and supplied high-quality hardware to workshops of furniture designers who produced luxury furniture. The name La Porte Barmen is often stamped on the locks and metal elements of antique furniture from the late 19th century and early 20th century.
