Boulle Buffet in Blackened Pear Wood, Napoleon II Period – Mid-19th Century

This sumptuous Napoleon III period sideboard, made of blackened pearwood in the mid-19th century, is inspired by the masterful creations of Louis XIV's cabinetmaker, Charles André Boulle.
It is distinguished by an imposing domed door, entirely inlaid with chiseled brass scrolls, creating a striking visual contrast and unparalleled decorative richness.
The door is equipped with an authentic functional lock with bronze entries, adding a touch of authenticity and refinement.
The uprights of the sideboard are decorated with espagnolettes with gilded bronze motifs and falls, testifying to the craftsmanship of the period.
The very lively sides are embellished with bronze figures and spandrels, reinforcing the elegance and sophistication of this piece of furniture.
The mahogany interior offers two fixed shelves, providing practical storage space while maintaining the luxurious aesthetic of the piece of furniture.
The top of the sideboard is made of Carrara marble, perfectly following the sinuous lines of the piece of furniture, and adding a touch of nobility and durability.
The whole rests at the front on two feet fitted with sabots decorated with acanthus leaves, highlighting the attention paid to detail and the quality of the materials used.
This sideboard is not only a testament to the opulence and refined taste of the Napoleon III era, but also a centerpiece that will enhance any classic or contemporary interior.
