About this piece

Fine 18th-century French wedding armoire in walnut, dated 1796 (carved into the timber) and sourced from a chateau in Provence. The façade features rare hand-carved chalice and wheat motifs, with raised-panel sides for additional depth and structure.

Original hardware is retained, including large hand-forged hinges and an escutcheon. The locking mechanism is in working order. Internally, the shelves and doors are lined with French toile fabric.

Condition presents as age-appropriate, with patination and borer holes consistent with old French pieces. Traditionally, elaborately carved armoires with substantial locks served as showpieces of wealth and were passed down through families. Originally imported to Australia by Manning and Manning.

Dimensions: 140 cm W x 70 cm D x 240 cm H (to highest point).
