An extraordinary neoclassical royal armoire in walnut, opening by two doors, three drawers, and three secret compartments. This important cabinet dates roughly back to the 1870s and bears various remarkable inventory labels of the Royal House of Savoy. Some labels indicate the name of the King’s architect, Emilio Stramucci , who was in charge of various palace redecoration projects (in the two capitals, Turin and Florence, between which the piece was moved according to the labels).

Large scale pieces like this for the palaces were likely made on site at the “in house” master cabinetmaking workshop (hence the lack of a maker’s mark).
