Complete your bedroom with a handmade French armoire or French style wardrobe, which will sit harmoniously alongside any other luxury furniture you have in your bedroom. Our French style wardrobes are hand-carved by master craftsmen and will stand the test of time in both the heirloom and the style stakes. Choose from armoires with solid, mirrored or glass doors.

French Wardrobes That Are Built To Last

Solid pieces of furniture, such as our French armoires and wardrobes, are built to last a lifetime and to be handed down to your children, and your children’s children. We are particularly proud of the build quality of all our furniture, and the French wardrobes in this collection are no exception. We insist that each of our handmade French armoires are made with the finest materials and hand-carved by master craftsmen. All of our painted French-style furniture is hand painted with a seven-stage process, which involves sanding, sealing, painting, varnishing, distressing, more painting, and then a final coat of varnish.

Luxury French Armoires and wardrobes

Our range of French wardrobes includes fabulous reclaimed French designs, focusing on the trend for natural, unfinished, distressed and weathered items in a French country style, and mixed wood tones and the opulance of provencal designs. 

If you have a spacious bedroom or large storage requirements, then our 2-door Avenue Blanc or Avenue Montaigne French Armoires have an array of smart storage solutions and shelving configurations, and will make a statement in any room of the house you choose. Both take notes from the gustavian furniture style, where they are part of larger Avenue Blanc Gustavian collection & Avenue Montaigne Gustavian collection respectively.

Why beautiful, hand-carved French armoires are an essential part of bedroom decor

Classic French antique furniture is characterised by sinuous curves and unique, hand-carved designs. No bedroom is complete without a beautiful, ornate armoire to store bedding, clothing or books in. Alternatively, they stand beautifully in the kitchen to store crockery.

An armoire is a rustic, free-standing two-doored cupboard, containing hanging space, shelves and/or drawers to keep bedroom essentials in, whilst maintaining that breathtaking statement style synonymous with French decor.

The word ‘armoire’ originates from 16th Century French. The iconic armoire design is the handiwork of Andre-Charles Boulle - cabinet-maker to Louis XIV during the late 17th century - and is arguably one of the most striking, magnificent and sumptuous pieces of French furniture.

Our armoires - perfect for a beautiful bedroom

Whatever interior design theme you choose for your bedroom, one of our French wardrobes is sure to complement it perfectly. Whether you prefer the rustic appeal of natural wood, distressed paint, or an antique whitewashed finish, our collection contains the ideal French armoire for you.

If you would like something a little more opulent, a beautiful mirrored French armoire is just the thing to add an extra hint of French opulence to your room. Every wardrobe in our range has been finished to the highest standards by a team of skilled furniture makers who take great pride in their work, bringing you the most inspiring, elegant and decadent bedroom pieces.

To learn a little more about armoire's, we have a comprehensive armoire guide on our blog.
