This French Art Deco wardrobe from the 1930s exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and balanced geometry characteristic of the period.
The piece is constructed from solid wood and finished with luxurious bookmatched walnut veneer, in which the grain has been mirrored to create a distinctive flame or butterfly pattern.
The rich tones and natural sheen of the walnut give the wardrobe a warm and sophisticated presence.

The design features three doors, with the central door fitted with a mirror.
Behind the doors, the interior offers four fixed shelves and a small internal drawer, providing generous and practical storage space.
All three doors can be locked, and the two outer doors are elegantly curved, adding visual softness to the geometric Art Deco silhouette.

A practical feature of this piece is that it is demountable, allowing for easy transportation and reassembly.

Original brass handles and fittings complete the design, contrasting beautifully with the warm wood tones.
Both functional and decorative, this piece would complement a variety of interiors, from traditional to modern, adding an authentic touch of 1930s French elegance.
