Vintage French Provincial Style Mahogany Armoire

This is a substantial vintage armoire crafted in the French Provincial revival style, likely dating from the mid-20th century. The piece is constructed from mahogany, exhibiting a rich, reddish-brown finish with a prominent natural wood grain. It features an ornate serpentine or 'camelback' arched cornice at the top, embellished with dental molding and a central hand-carved floral crest. The two large cabinet doors are decorated with asymmetrical rococo-style relief carvings within raised panels, following a 'chapeau de gendarme' silhouette. The hardware consists of long, decorative brass or bronze-toned vertical pulls and an escutcheon on the central stile. The base is finished with a scalloped apron and short, cabriole-style legs ending in whorl feet. The overall craftsmanship suggests a high-quality reproduction of 18th-century French design. Visible condition includes some minor surface scuffing and finish wear consistent with age, particularly along the lower base and edges. The interior is noted to contain two heavy shelves, indicating a sturdy internal structure suitable for heavy storage or use as a wardrobe.
