Louis-Philippe wardrobe in walnut burl and veneer.

Remarkable French wardrobe from the Louis-Philippe period, made of walnut and featuring very beautiful veneers of burr and walnut carefully selected. Its façade is distinguished by two large flat doors, devoid of mouldings, a particularly sober choice for the time. This streamlined design gives it an astonishing modernity and allows this 19th-century wardrobe to fit seamlessly into both classic and contemporary interiors. The choice of woods, the quality of the joinery, and the precision of the construction testify to the great craftsmanship of the cabinetmaker who created it. The wardrobe rests on skirting-type feet and retains its original hardware. Its lock is particularly interesting: it features a three-point locking system, effectively securing the large doors and limiting their deformation over time. Fully dismountable, like the large quality French wardrobes of this period, it can be transported and installed more easily despite its significant dimensions. The interior currently includes four shelves. With a generous interior depth, the layout can also be adapted to transform the wardrobe into a hanging space. The wardrobe has retained a very beautiful old patina. It has not undergone any significant restoration and has simply benefited from a respectful cleaning and maintenance of its original condition. Its finish is waxed. Provenance This wardrobe comes from the Loire Valley in France, where it remained in the same family for several generations. According to the family history passed down to us, its previous owner received it from her grandmother. The old inscription visible on the back indicates the date of manufacture of this wardrobe as 1859. This family provenance, combined with its remarkable state of preservation, allows us today to present a wardrobe that has retained much of its character.
