French Louis XV-style single door mirrored armoire

Circa 1900
 
Excellent quality French Louis XV-style single door mirrored armoire with original deep bevelled mirror glass and fully adjustable shelves. This item also has a hidden plinth drawer with a brushing slide at the base. Internally, there is a Birds Eye maple backing the door and the front edges of all the adjustable shelves. Lovely rich and consistent colour tone to the rosewood which has a beeswax finish to give it a mellow glow.
 
Very likely this was made either in Lyon in the south of France or Paris in the north and would have been an apartment or townhouse piece rather than a country house scale.
The armoire door and the very top comes off the body, so makes it more manageable to move.
