The Louis Philippe Marquis Cherry Jewelry Armoire
is one of the classic wood armoire jewelry boxes currently sold. A jewelry armoire is much more than your average jewelry box. It is a free-standing item for individuals with large jewelry collections. This product features a marquis cherry finish and the design has classic Louis Philippe-inspired accents.
For those who are not aware, Louis-Philippe was the King of the French between 1830 and 1848. He was actually the last king to rule France. Napoleon was the last monarch of France but he was titled an emperor, not a king. The Louis Philippe style of furniture has its basis in French style of the nineteenth century. It features simple lines that are softly rounded and have little ornamentation. The quiet look of understated luxury is often featured in darker woods like walnut and mahogany.
People looking for wooden jewelry boxes of substantial size should consider this one. It measures 15.1 inches deep x 20.1 inches wide x 42.9 inches high when closed and weighs 93 pounds. It is made from wood with a distressed marquis cherry finish. A flip-top opens to reveal a mirror and a lined jewelry compartment that includes dividers. There are left and right side doors that feature a touch latch and open to reveal necklace hangers. Inside are enough necklace hangers to accommodate large collections and long necklaces.
This jewelry armoire features eight lined drawers for storing the entire collection of jewelry and other accessories. The drawers and top compartment are lined in plush black. The drawer pulls feature an antique brass finish and are shaped like a shield of honor, lending to the classic air.
When the two side doors and top mirror are fully open, this armoire measures 18.75 inches deep x 40 inches wide x 56.25 inches high. The mirror is of ample size for the jewelry wearer to view his or her entire face. This allows people to put their jewelry on while standing at the jewelry armoire, making it easy for them to try various accessories to find the perfect look.
The Louis Philippe Jewelry Armoire is a stylish way to hold a large jewelry collection. The eight drawers and top divided jewelry compartment keep the jewelry organized. Jewelry owners will no longer need to worry about untangling necklaces or searching for that single earring lost at the bottom of the traditional style jewelry box.
