18th Century French Louis XIII Armoire will make an impressive visual statement in any room!  Crafted entirely by hand using techniques that are centuries old, it features diamond and triangular pyramidal forms in various configurations arranged in three patterns on each of the full length doors.  The depth of the design forms an unforgettable three dimensional presence, enhanced by the bold, multi-tiered crown molding resting on top of the work.  Subtle brass key guards and steel hinges mounted on the outside of the facade provide functional accents, with the doors opening wide to reveal cavernous storage, four shelves and five surfaces for excellent organizational possibilities.  Note the old forged iron throw latch for the left door in the photos.  Three raised & recessed panels on each side combine with the fine base molding to finish out the facade and make it visually appealing from all angles.  Hand-crafted from select, old growth oak to literally last for centuries!
Circa 1780s
