Large Louis Xvi Armoire
During the twenty years previous to the Revolution the style of French furniture reached a high standard of artistic excellence, both in design and execution, although it is a direct reaction from the Rococo ornamentation and the excessive curves of the previous reign. Vertical and horizontal lines were emphasized. Legs of tables and of chairs were straight and tapered, generally fluted. Rectangular tables occur more frequently than round or oval forms. The woods consisted of mahogany, satinwood and other ornamental kinds. Brocades and exquisite tapestries, damask and velvet, were used in upholstery. Carving, painting, lacquer, marquetry, ormolu, fluting, reeding and beading were some of the many types of decoration used. This armoire is a wonderful example of this incredible style. The first feature that you will notice is the magnificent beveled mirrors. Four small mirrors flank the floor length oval mirror in the center. Notice the brass seashell accents and medallions on the outer doors. This type of ormolu is typical of this beautiful style! Don’t overlook the magnificent inset paneling. This piece is large enough to provide plenty of space for all of your storage needs. Place it in your master bedroom for the most exquisite closet. You are going to love this old world beauty. oc253c503
