Armadio Direttorio, c. 1790 Piemonte
Armoire in solid walnut (noce nazionale)* and walnut veneers. Built in the streamlined Directoire style. Greek influences are revealed in the radius-curved crown molding and side supports. Substantial doors are centered with prominent diamond-shaped panels. Generous drawer with dovetailed joinery. Sturdy handles and hinges are wrought iron and original to the piece. Fine trim moldings and inverted finial feet make this significant piece a definitive example of classical design.
