Louis XIV solid walnut wardrobe, Piedmont, late 17th century Dimensions: cm L 218.5 x D 81 x H 241 Price: private negotiation Item accompanied by our certificate of authenticity Important Piedmontese wardrobe in solid walnut from the late 17th century, Louis XIV period, characterized by a solid architectural structure and refined decoration with raised frames. The two-door front, with original hardware, is divided into three orders of panels, bordered by projecting frames with an articulated design, with reliefs and corner joints that create a lively play of planes. In the central panels, the rectangular motif accommodates a curvilinear profile, introducing a note of movement into the rigorous geometric layout. To the sides of the doors, large uprights are decorated with elongated vertical reserves with shaped ends, also arranged in three orders. The same attention to detail continues on the sides, which are also divided into three framed panels: a detail that enhances the piece even when viewed from the side. Of particular value is the upper cornice, which projects significantly and is marked by a succession of carved modillions with a foliate motif, accentuating the architectural character of the whole. The richness of the top is matched by the molded base, supported by bracket feet. The interior, lined with light-colored fabric in good condition, features a large top shelf and a vertical division that separates a full-height compartment from a space organized with multiple shelves, which can be modified. This arrangement allows the piece to be used both as a wardrobe and as a spacious pantry, combining the charm of antique furniture with the needs of contemporary life. The clean volumes and the geometric design of the frames give the wardrobe a surprising modernity, making it suitable for both classic and contemporary environments, where it can be a strong characterizing element. The well-balanced proportions, with dimensions that are not easily found on the market, the articulation of the decorations, and the warm color of the wood, give the piece an authoritative, decorative, and functional presence. The structure is entirely disassembled, a feature that facilitates transport and placement even in spaces with less convenient access.

Period: 17th century
