Louis XIV walnut armoire – late 17ᵗʰ century - Perigord

This coffered armoire, with drawers in the lower part, is in the Louis XIV style.

This type of furniture crowned the social and economic success of a bourgeoisie that had made a fortune and wanted to show off. Heavy sideboards, big banqueting tables, dressers for displaying copper ware, pewter ware and pottery and two-tiered buffets in the servants’ quarters for arranging all the kitchen utensils.

  • Coffer with two drawers.
  • Doors moulded with a prominent geometric motif.
  • Flanked by double-thread, freestanding, twisted columns.
  • Large-framed side and panels with flattened diamond shapes.
  • Cornice with wide entablature.
