Crafted from premium solid walnut, it features spectacular book-matched burl walnut panels on the doors that showcase a vivid, symmetrical natural grain.

Notable Construction & Features:

"Knock-Down" Design: the armoire is designed to be disassembled into sections. This allows for easier transport and placement in homes with standard doorways or narrow staircases where a solid unit would be difficult.

Artisanal Carvings: Features pierced-fretwork crests on the doors and a classic scalloped "tooth" molding beneath the deep-profile flared cornice.

Stately Pilasters: Triple-fluted columns with central turned "ring" details flank the wardrobe, adding Neoclassical balance.

Exceptional Joinery: The base features two wide lower drawers constructed with dovetails.

Authentic Hardware: Ornate brass pulls and decorative escutcheons, including working key.

Storage: The interior is equipped with a sturdy hanging rail and hooks, while the oversized base drawers provide substantial storage.


Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with a warm, lustrous patina. The wood shows minor age-appropriate wear consistent with its 150-year history. Structurally sound; doors and drawers operate smoothly. See less
