19th-century Norman wedding armoire, with bouquets of flowers and doves.

This very beautiful Norman wedding wardrobe is a true gem of 19th-century craftsmanship. Made from solid medium oak, it embodies the robustness and timeless charm of antique furniture. The wardrobe is distinguished by its rich carving, a testament to the artisanal know-how of the time. Its straight cornice highlights a clean line, while a large bouquet of flowers adorns the central upper part, delicately sheltering doves, symbols of love and peace. The straight doors of the upper section are embellished with carved flowers, adding a touch of refinement to the whole. The protruding panels of the wardrobe, a sign of generous thickness, are framed by a moulded surround that enhances its majestic appearance. In the centre, a crossbar features an oval cartouche decoration, showcasing a finely crafted flower basket. The tie, for its part, is adorned with diamond patterns and flower stems, a detail that does not go unnoticed. The brass fittings add a touch of elegance and durability, while the lock, still functional, comes with its original key. The front feet in the shape of shells add a note of sophistication, and the heavily carved lower crossbar presents a central bouquet that harmoniously balances the whole. Inside, the wardrobe offers practical space with three intended shelves, two of which are currently installed. The two present shelves are equipped with drawers, perfect for storing precious items or mementoes. Two battens are missing to install the third shelf, but this in no way detracts from the beauty and functionality of this exceptional piece of furniture. With imposing dimensions, this wardrobe stands out as a centrepiece in a bedroom, living room, or even an entrance hall. Its Norman style and sculpted details make it a unique piece, ideal for lovers of antiques and items rich in history.
