Description

This 18th century French armoire, circa 1780, is carved in yew and chestnut and is also known as a marriage armoire. The cornice and front are profusely inlaid with a leaf design, with a snake flowing up the middle of the doors behind a pierced metal escutcheon plate, while a rare carved right-facing eagle adorns the lower frieze. Standing on scrolled legs, the double doors open to reveal a single oak shelf in three sections. Showing expected surface marks from age, it remains strong, sturdy and ready for everyday use.
