Antique French Louis Philippe Style Pine Armoire Wardrobe Linen Press Cupboard

Description

Louis Philippe style Armoire or Linen Press, circa 1870s. Made from pine with a lockable central door that oppens to three interior shelves. The bottom of the cabinet is accented by a lovely serpentine cut apron and large lower hand delivetailed drawer.

The style of architecture and design under King Louis Philippe I (1830–1848) was a more eclectic development of French neoclassicism, incorporating elements of neo-Gothic and other styles. It was the first French decorative style imposed not by royalty, but by the tastes of the growing French upper class. Louis Philippe furniture had the same types and forms as the earlier French Restoration style, but with less decoration; comfort was the primary consideration.
