Description
American Rococo Revival Rosewood Armoire, mid-19th century, attributed to the New Orleans warerooms of Prudent Mallard, the bonnet top with a floral urn-carved crest flanked by open carving, the molded cornice trimmed with beaded molding, with smaller-scaled molding of like pattern adorning the frieze and framing the single mirrored door, the canted corners with foliate-carved brackets, the lower section with a drawer over beaded molding, on turned legs, h. 115", w. 56-1/2", d. 25". The present armoire shares the same floral-basket crest design exhibited on a half-tester bed in this sale, and a similar half-tester bed at Lansdowne, Natchez, Mississippi. The en suite Lansdowne armoire is of triple-section form. On occasion, similar double-door and single-door armoires surface in the deep South.
