18th Century Lyonnaise Wardrobe In Cherry Wood

Rare and elegant 18th-century Lyon wardrobe,
crafted from solid cherry wood, remarkable for its richly carved façade featuring six medallions, projecting moldings, and scalloped bands characteristic of Lyon furniture. The cornice, with its generous and perfectly balanced curve reminiscent of Lyon's gendarme's hats, highlights the mastery of the region's cabinetmakers. The flowing, continuous lines are adorned with a discreet central carved motif, echoed on the lower rail. The whole rests on finely crafted, cabriole legs, lending the piece both elegance and stability. The cherry wood, with its warm and deep patina, reveals a harmonious grain and reflects a great deal of light, attesting to the quality and age of the wood. This wardrobe perfectly illustrates the 18th-century Lyon aesthetic, both robust and refined, designed to combine functionality with decorative nobility. A piece of character, ideal for a classic interior or for adding an authentic and sculptural presence to a more contemporary setting. Harmonious and entirely original, this cabinet still has its key with its sumptuous lock and rack. It can be converted into a wardrobe.
