Curly Cherry Jewelry Armoire Details

Out of Stock. I"ll be making more of these early in 2008.

  The latching mechanism at the top of the cabinet requires the left hand door to be closed first. Closing the right-hand door then depresses a latch that holds the left door shut, allowing the key controlled lock to secure the cabinets contents from unwelcome perusal. Of course the doors stay shut (via magnetic catches) without the key. The ebony escutcheon is inlaid into the door, and also sits proud of the door's surface by a beveled 1/32". The doors exterior feature an inlaid ebony bead that highlight the bookmatched panels. The side veneers are cut from the same board, as seen below.
   
  Open view, before panels are pulled out.The panels are veneered birch multi-ply panels with solid edge banding on both sides. The rods are solid ebony dowels, sloped up for necklace retention. They're plenty long for hanging multiple pieces on each of the 72 hangers.
   
 
  Here are open shots of the three drawers. The drawers are 14" wide and 10 " deep, and are graduated in depth from 1 1/2' to 2". The top drawer has two long compartments, either or both of which can be fitted with ring pads, and 16 small cubbies. The middle drawer has two long compartments which can be fitted with ring pads, and four 4" x 5" compartments, and the bottom drawer is separated into two large areas for bulkier items. I can add additional divisions per your request to any of the drawers.
