I don't know much about this piece other than it appears to be old. I found it in a consignment shop in New Hampshire...proprietor didn't have any info on piece. Its hard to tell from picture but it has faded green & red paint. I love the flowers on the front doors. Curious as to whether it is handcarved?!
I also love the carving but at first was trying to work out if it was a chair or cupboard I would say a chair
I guess I need to take a better picture as its an armoire not a chair :-)
Not really it could just be me
Its probably both of us Zowie lol added another pic just to cover it :-)
It's probably Zowie! Hey, look on the bright side. It's not upside down or sideways!
Phil has a point but I still like the carvings as I can see them.
Thanks for your imput Phil!
Yes the carvings are what drew me to this piece blunder.
Nice, makes me want to crawl in it and see Narnia!
You are so right littlemarg! Nice visual :-)
Pictures aren't great but I don't think slats would be terribly uncommon on the bottom or back. If you research it search it as a dome top Armoire. Pinning it down may not be easy and most of what you find will probably be French made when it comes to older stuff. Quite possibly found it's way to New Hampshire from Canada. Lots of French Canadians migrated to New Hampshire.
blunderbuss2 as I said it was most probably me as have been having pretty bad migraines for awhile & have to have a MRI that's why I said it was most probably me so you were spot on with that. Have a great day
Fhrjr2 Thank you for the info...I've looked at 100's of pics glad to learn of the term "top dome".
Zowie feel better! I'm putting you on my prayer list :-)
zoie62 thank you for the thoughts I can only hope
Hope is good :-)
There isn't much else we can do but the one thing you don't do is give up.
