19th Century Country French Oak Bonnetière ~ Petite Armoire

Price: $2,480

A charming 19th century Country French oak bonnetière, embodying the quiet romance of provincial living. Originally intended for the storage of bonnets and linens, the bonnetière evolved into a refined yet practical single-door armoire — modest in scale yet rich in character.
Crafted in solid oak, this piece reflects the relaxed elegance that defines Country French style, where casual warmth is balanced with thoughtful detailing. The molded crown is adorned with classic egg-and-dart carving, lending architectural refinement to the upper silhouette. The raised panels and gently contoured door introduce movement and depth, while remaining restrained and harmonious.
The hardware is particularly well appointed, featuring substantial barrel hinges and a decorative escutcheon that enhance both authenticity and visual appeal. The shaped apron and softly scrolled feet add grace to the form, grounding the piece with quiet sophistication.
The warm oak patina beautifully highlights the natural grain, reinforcing the approachable yet enduring quality of French country design. Timeless and versatile, this bonnetière brings both functional storage and cultivated charm to any interior.
