French antique armoires – function and beauty in partnership
Although the main purpose of an armoire is a practical one, the real selling point of any French antique piece is its individually crafted beauty paired with functionality. Unlike many modern furnishings today which are built primarily to serve a basic need and with limited attention to detail, an antique French armoire was designed and built by hand to be a stunning and individual piece that would create pleasure for the owner every time it was used.
While there is no such thing as a typical French antique armoire, there are certain characteristics which you can expect to see. Sturdy and robust construction from high quality woods are a definite – there is no doubt when looking at a French antique armoire that the piece has been created to stand the test of time.
Another key feature is exquisite detailing. Even the most minimalistic and simple pieces have beautifully carved doors, and many having stunningly intricate scrolls and carvings that take any bedroom to the next level of opulent style.
The benefits of buying French antique armoires
While some homeowners are happy to settle for a modern replica or a contemporary mass-produced wardrobe for their bedroom, many more are searching for something individual and unique that expresses their personality and flair perfectly. French antique armoires can do this admirably.
It goes without saying that a French antique armoire has been constructed with longevity in mind, and one look at its solid wood construction shows how it has stood the test of time admirably. There is more to an antique piece than just quality and workmanship, however.
The true joy of choosing an antique armoire over a more modern piece is in the authenticity and history it brings into the home. Antique furniture brings with it a cherished past that makes it a piece to be treasured for a lifetime and beyond.
