Chelsea Armoire in Black Gloss

Story

Our classic raised panel armoire. Scalloped bottom rail, rat-tail hinges, generous crown. Made from clear pine. Includes four adjustable shelves and wardrobe bar, for easy pantry / wardrobe conversion.

A flexible storage solution, we've sold this cabinet for every conceivable purpose: as a bedroom or entrance wardrobe, as an entertainment cabinet, a kitchen pantry, an awesome toy chest, and a workspace supply cabinet. The solid top cap is an important design and usability feature, as items placed on top won't fall behind the distinctive crown moulding.

Our Black finish is stained, painted black and then hand rubbed to create a convincing, distressed patina. As well, this natural distressing has the effect of softening the form, and emphasizing the details. This is a more costly process than our single-tone stained finishes, on account of the additional time and material involved. For authenticity, strength of presence and broad compatibility, a striking piece of painted black furniture can not be beat. 

Champlain Collection

Growing up, we'd go on family ski trips to Mont Sainte Anne. We'd visit Quebec City and tour around Île d'Orléans. Always on the look out for interesting furniture, we'd seek out objects and expressions of the local vernacular. We rented ski chalets and had a funny habit of rearranging the furniture and re-imagining the decor. These were great trips. Family times, great skiing and good food. We noticed that the wood furniture had a local flavour and we adored the old painted finishes. Our Champlain Collection was inspired by those trips.
