France, around 1825. Very tall single door armoire - a so called bonnetière cabinet - at the time used in hallways and vestibules to store coats and garments. It shows a simple yet distinct design with a paneled door and an elegantly curved corniche on top. Beautiful rustic and almost architectural in scale and presence. Very honest and original condition with a nice patina. Shows its age gracefully and with a wabi sabi charm, as can be seen in the pictures. An impressive example of antique French provincial furniture that looks incredible and works very well in a wide array of interior styles. Comes with a lidded compartment inside and a rod and hooks to hang your coats / garments.
