It has marquetry inlays and bronze ormolu. The center door is mirrored and quite large. the two side doors are rounded out. They have beautiful green urns with yellow flowers above, inlaid on each door. The bonnet top has bronze/brass ormolu of an urn with flowers. All hinges and legs and shelves that are there were present when I purchased the armoire. The original key escutcheon was there, but not the key, or the handles for the side doors. I added these. I like the fact that all parts come apart for moving. This was a very clever French solution for moving large, heavy objects. All inlays are there and intact, as well as all bronze ormolu. This piece has never been refinished or restored…..to my knowledge. There is a longish scratch in the mirror on the right side, which may be able to be buffed out…..don’t know for sure. There are scratches and dings, commensurate with age; in particular, there are two small missing pieces in the veneer where the door shuts at the bottom…there is a picture of this. Also, there is a hole in the inside bottom….also, a picture of this. None of these has affected the usability of this wonderful armoire. Beginning on Dec. 2, 2019, you will be charged tax, based on the tax rate of your state, on all purchases. Buy now, and avoid this! less
