Made from French walnut, with curved moldings that frame in the three mirrored doors. Each mirror has a wide beveled edge, with the center holding a full length mirror. The side mirrors have carved panels below. The foundation piece has two raised panels, a center oval with a carved cartouche. The crown has matching carved garlands. Two raised panels on each side wall complete the sophisticated look of this piece. Top cartouche has been tastefully removed to fit ceiling heights of 96.5”. However the cartouche has been retained and can be re-attached as some photos show.

The interior center is fitted with shelves below and above, a bar for hanging clothing and a drawer at the bottom. Each side opens to shelves. The interior shelves are the original and custom made. This armoire has the original three keys which open the doors and shows a high level of craftmanship, expensive walnut wood, that only the wealthy could afford.

The armoire is designed to break down for easy transport. It has been a well cared for piece and is from France.
