Description
Panelled doors with the diamond-point,or the closely allied lozenge motif, are found on most colonial wardrobes until the end of the 18th century. These are associated with the Louis XIII style. The diamond-point was retained for an extended period in the St. Lawrence Valley and in some parts of France. The scalloped skirt betrays this piece as being of a later date. The legs are a modern replacement.
