    My husband and I bought this Wedding Armoire in Paris. It collapses to the size of one of the size. Made for traveling. So it goes, that wen a baby girl was born, a tree was cut down. And when she married the tree was carved to make an armoire for her wedding day. To testify to this story are the perched turtle doves at the top, as well as decorating the doors. The grapes, branches & flowers indicate it was probably carved in Normandy. Behind the glass doors are shelves and two drawers. See more photos on my website.
