Just arrived from France, this armoire is made with SOLID burl wood! This is my first time seeing this. Burl wood is so expensive it typically is only used in veneer form. This piece is solid and comes with 3 mixed matched shelves. Shipping available $3,000 #armoire #frenchantiques #antiques #vintagefurniture #frenchdesign
