French Antique Armoire Converted Into Oak Gun Cabinet

This stunning piece was originally a circa 1900 French oak bookcase. An English furniture maker has retro-fitted the interior to make it into a beautiful gun cabinet. There are two adjustable shelves at the top of the bookcase and then a "notched" shelf for the barrels to lean and at the very bottom there are cut outs for the stocks. The glass doors lock with an old French key. The lock is an old lock that is not easy to turn, and requires two complete revolutions of the key to fully lock or unlock the doors. At the bottom is a drawer that has hand cut dovetailed joints and slides in and out very easily. The bookcase is very heavy and sturdy and in good overall condition. There are quite a few age splits in the piece, some on the barley twist columns and on both sides of the case. These are purely cosmetic and do not affect the structural integrity of the piece. Please note this cabinet ships in 1 piece and does not break down. With our free curbside delivery you will need to be sure you have help to move this piece inside, and clearance to stand it up where you want it.
