French-style wardrobes offer a masterclass in quality
Whether you’re building a collection of antique furniture, or adding a character piece to a contemporary interior look, there’s a host of original antique French wardrobes available at Vinterior. Choose from luxurious treated mahogany and oak pieces, single, double, triple and even four-doored armoires, painted shabby chic linen cupboards and original 18th-Century pine commodes. The distinctive silhouette of the French-chic wardrobe typically involves decorating moulding around the doors and base and almost exclusively is supported by four carved feet. Both the decorative wardrobes created for the king and the pieces made by rural furnituremakers bear similar identifying features that are unmistakably French. Depending on the style of the room in which the wardrobe will be placed, you may wish to invest in the original item. Many original pieces survive from the 17th and 18th Centuries – built with such care and attention to detail that they show little to no signs of ageing. Choose from glossy-treated woods such as mahogany and oak to bring a truly stately presence to your home. Alternatively, reproduction pieces are also available: choose an upcycled French wardrobe with a contemporary shabby chic paint coat to fill your home with a cosy and laid-back feel with a twist of European heritage. Or consider a French mirrored wardrobe to reflect light across your room and create the illusion of space.

As practical as they are beautiful, our French antique wardrobes bring function as well as style to your room. Designed to revolutionise how clothes and other possessions were stored, the French-style wardrobe tends to include plenty of space for hanging clothes, as well as additional shelves and/or drawers for storing smaller items, such as shoes, underwear and accessories. French furniture is synonymous with quality craftsmanship. Each piece is built to last, providing a useful place to store clothing and bedroom linens, and creating a sense of heritage and character in your home that can be enjoyed for years to come.
