Large French 19th Century Walnut Armoire
 
This sturdy French Armoire in solid walnut is from south-west France.
 
A lovely piece of early French furniture with great mellowed colour and character.
 
The removable rounded top cornice sits above a pair of panelled doors with a working lock and key.
 
Inside are three removable solid shelves and plenty of space.
 
Below this is a full-width drawer with turned inset drawer pulls and dovetail joints.
 
In solid walnut with decorative carving above the door.
 
Overall in great condition for its age with only minor knocks and dents.
 
There is some old restoration to the cornice front corners that has been checked and found to be good. A small amount of historic worm that has been treated as a precautionary measure as it is long since gone.
 
Of pegged construction and for transport reasons comes flat-packed, having been dismantled with all parts labelled for easy reconstruction. Dowels and instructions are supplied.
 
All measurements are of the widest points.
 
This would require two people to re-assemble.
