Updated … Read more Hand-crafted of solid wood and fine veneers & exported by Buying & Design (Florence, Italy), in 2015 or earlier.

Updated model currently sold by Ballard Designs. “The finishes are hand applied by Italian artisans using the same simple tools and techniques employed by Florentine artists for centuries.”

Finish: Black with cherry stained distressed trim. (discontinued).

1 large adjustable top shelf, 1 large fixed middle shelf, 2 small fixed lowers, 4 small adjustable lowers.

All original hardware - simple brass escutcheons, hinges, shelf pegs, and skeleton key + lock.

Fluted side rails, medallion accents, bulb feet, 2 electronic cord management holes for use as a media center.

Former owners set aside the full width top shelf (included with original pegs) to use this armoire as a tv stand, thus the rectangular vent cut-out of the back panel (cut out piece is included and could be patched back in).

One missing piece- inside on the top of the left door, the brass stopper piece attached to the corner where the door meets the top of the frame. Functions fine without, or could be replaced by something similar to match what’s on the right.

Minor chip in the wood on the front-bottom of the door trim (see close up photo and see in scale in the full length photo).

This beauty is in her prime with hardly any wear & tear, ready to provide many more years of aesthetic and functional satisfaction.
