Piedmontese Walnut Armoire, circa 1790
-
Description
A finely crafted Piedmontese armoire dating to circa 1790, representative of late 18th-century Northern Italian cabinetry. Constructed in solid walnut, the armoire features two paneled doors carved with geometric reserves framed by molded profiles, reflecting the restrained elegance and architectural rigor typical of Piedmontese design. The gently arched cornice is enriched with subtle carved detailing at the center, lending presence without excess ornament.
The doors open to reveal a spacious interior suitable for clothing or household storage. The base is shaped with a scalloped apron, adding softness to the otherwise rectilinear structure. Original iron hardware and hinges remain in place, contributing to the authenticity and historical integrity of the piece. The walnut surface retains a warm, aged patina, highlighting the quality of the wood and craftsmanship.
Balanced, sober, and architectural, this armoire is well suited for a bedroom, library, or entry space. A strong and timeless example of late 18th-century Piedmontese furniture.
