Europe » Painted Marriage Armoire with Grey Urns & Spiral Columns
Ref: 4383
A superb condition antique pine marriage cupboard or armoire. The size is neat and it has an appealing muted colour scheme. Whites, greys, browns with subtle highlights provided by garlands of flowers. Of especial interest is the Neo-Classical detailing. The urns in the central panel and the twisted columns to the sides. These are sometimes called Solomonic columns as they were said to adorn the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem - there was a revival of interest in this style of column in Central European Baroque.
