dating to around 1880, this rustic louis xv-style armoire has been beautifully hand-sanded to reveal the warmth, texture and wonderfully imperfect character of the original wood. Its softly curved silhouette and simple carved details give it that unmistakable french country charm, while the beautifully weathered surface keeps it relaxed rather than overly polished.

open the double doors and there’s a lovely surprise: the spacious interior is painted a soft, warm red, turning an otherwise practical wardrobe into something with a little more personality. Inside, generous shelves offer plenty of room for linens, clothes, ceramics, books or whatever treasures you feel deserve a proper french cupboard of their own.

carefully restored and treated against termites, this armoire is in a good antique and functional condition. It retains the knocks, marks and gentle wear of its long life, all part of what makes an old piece feel like it has actually lived a life before arriving at yours.

a wonderfully versatile piece for a bedroom, hallway, living room or even a kitchen. Rustic, practical and just a tiny bit unexpected.

for transport this armoire will be taken apart and will consist of the top, sides, back parts, doors, bottom and shelves, all flat pack.
