Late Victorian Jacobean Revival Oak Armoire

This is a large, freestanding triple-door armoire or wardrobe, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, executed in the Jacobean Revival style. Constructed from solid oak with a rich, dark-stained finish, the piece features a prominent crown molding with a fretwork-inspired geometric carved frieze. The facade is vertically divided into three bays: a central arched mirrored door flanked by two recessed-panel wooden doors. Notably, the side panels are flanked by relief-carved barley-twist (solomonic) columns, a hallmark of the revival style. The outer panels are further embellished with ornate applied carvings or escutcheons centered in the upper arched sections. Below the doors is a full-width drawer featuring a decorative raised moulding and original(?) metal pulls. The entire unit rests on heavy bun feet. The finish shows a distinct two-tone patina where the centers of panels remain lighter than the darkened edges, suggesting an aged shellac or lacquer. While the overall structure appears sturdy, visible surface wear includes minor scuffs, finish thinning along edges, and some oxidation on the mirror silvering. The craftsmanship suggests high-quality factory production from the Edwardian or late Victorian era, aimed at the burgeoning middle class seeking traditional aesthetic appeal.
