This gorgeous Louis XV carved and painted armoire from Lyon features two front doors with scroll carvings on each. The French antique period piece dates back to the 18th century and sports hand chiseled pierced bronze escutcheon on each door as well as floriate carvings on the center apron. The interior is upholstered in French toile with a fantastic, vibrant jungle pattern. The shelves and interior trim are painted in a corresponding deep red color, a combination of which contrasts beautifully against the softer tones seen in the exterior. Finally, the piece rests on short cabriole legs with scrolling feet.

French 19th Century Empire Chandelier
Item Number: 131xB
This classic Empire style chandelier features patinated bronze with bronze candle cups and bobeches. The French antique piece dates back to the 19th century and is adorned with beautiful scrolling arms from the patterned center. The arms play host to elements of nature as well as detailed bobeches and simple candle cups. Graduated ropes of octagon cut crystals cascade from the leaf crown to the large center ring, and subsequently back down to the central stem at bottom to complete the classically Empire basket shape.
