Description

This is a lovely double French pine armoire. It dates from the 1920s up to the 1960s. It is pine with a matte white painted finish and painted orange trees in pots on the opening doors. This has the major advantage of being a knock down so breaks down into much smaller parts to get up and down stairs. The armoire has double doors opening onto a large hanging space which can cope with longer clothing without crumpling it up. Below the doors there is a shaped plinth which is decorated with geometric designs. At the top of the hanging space is a beautifully shaped cornice. Its a great thing. The paint work is not new so has a great patina and it suits the piece.

The armoire is in good order. It stands well and level and has no wobbles. The doors are well attached when constructed and open and close as they should. The wood is in good order and the finish is as it should be for age.

This is a knock down item, the French are great at these. It will arrive as a base, a cornice, 2 side panels, 2 back panels and 2 doors. Plus the wooden slides which hold it together. It is simple to put up and takes 10-15 mins. It is easy but you will need 2 people to put the top on, it’s too wide for one person to slot both sides into place at once. The whole thing slots together into groves and pegs and is then secured by the slides. I will send instructions because if it’s done in the right order it’s a piece of cake. Once up and the bolts are in place it’s pretty much bomb proof.

Please note it does have a hanging rail - I forgot to put it in for the photos but it is there.

The armoire measures 134cn wide x 67cm deep x 208cm tall when erected.
