I have 2 French armoires and it's so sad that no one wants them any more. I've tried with auction houses and they are not sellable. It 's such a great loss of carpentry work and wood. I'm trying my best to salvage the wood and doors. Today younger generations do not have any space and move often and I understand this. They would rather have fake wood furniture painted grey or white or denim blue.

Well that doesn’t sound great and that is the case most of the time. The museum quality ones featured on the channel have all been sold to collectors or special design projects. Thanks for watching.
