The shaped mirrored doors are perfectly balanced by the two frieze drawers. This bold design is the perfect ornamentation to this sturdy and functional structure.

The American Rococo Revival style has become synonymous with period Southern décor. Furnishings, such as this grand étagère, graced the plantation homes of prominent families of the Antebellum era and were considered prized possessions. Serving as the ultimate status symbol, each piece was created with absolute attention to luxury and stature in mind to match these breathtaking estates. Fine American furnishings displaying the remarkable qualities seen in this armoire are displayed in museums or held by a few families of long Southern lineage.
