Norman Wedding Wardrobe In Light Oak, 19th Century, Good Condition, H 244 Cm

I present to you a Norman wardrobe in light oak, an emblematic piece of furniture from the 19th century, which stands out for its elegance and robustness. This wardrobe, with a height of 244 cm, is a true testimony to the craftsmanship of the time, with a width of 144 cm without the cornice and an external depth of 60 cm. It is in good general condition, which testifies to its solidity and durability. The wardrobe is described as "very healthy", which means that it has not suffered significant damage over time. It is often called a "wedding wardrobe", a term that evokes its traditional role in Norman homes. These wardrobes were often given as wedding gifts and were used to store the couple's linen and precious objects. One of the most remarkable aspects of this wardrobe is its carved decoration. The motifs of doves and musical attributes are finely chiseled, adding a touch of poetry and refinement to the whole. Doves, symbols of peace and love, are often featured in wedding furniture, reinforcing the idea of the armoire as a symbolic gift for the newlyweds. The rounded jamb surrounds and the beaded details on the doors and the tie (the central part of the armoire) are typical elements of the Norman style. These details show the attention paid by the craftsmen to every aspect of the manufacturing, ensuring not only the functionality but also the aesthetics of the piece. Another interesting detail is the presence of sabots under the feet of the armoire. These sabots, often made of wood or metal, served to protect the feet of the armoire from humidity and uneven floors, while adding an extra decorative touch. In short, this Norman armoire in light oak is much more than just a piece of storage furniture. It is a symbol of traditional Norman craftsmanship, history and culture. Its timeless beauty and solid construction make it a valuable addition to any collection of antique furniture.
