Large walnut buffet Directoire period 18th century lined with toile de Jouy
Superb sideboard 2 bodies of presentation with 4 doors and curved shelves
The bottom part presents an interior shelf and opens by 2 doors in front
The side panels and the top are in original fir: economic crisis at the end of the 18th century (Revolution) we used less noble woods for some parts of furniture
This does not take anything away from its aestheticism because of the same color as the rest of the furniture
Tapered legs in the front and straight in the back
The angles are cut with Directoire rhombus which gives a reminiscence of the Louis XVI style and its classicism
The interior doors are worked so that they can be left open (as beautiful on the outside as on the inside)
The locks work
The top is with a gendarme hat and the doors follow the movement of the cornice which gives a little lightness to the sobriety of this period
The 3 upper shelves are very curved in order to present : silverware, earthenware, glassware...
The doors are mounted on original wrought iron hinges
The top plates have in the center 1 double inverted heart
It could be a piece of furniture offered in marriage
This sideboard is entirely upholstered with sky blue Toile de Jouy in perfect condition
This sideboard is of a very high quality and very sober
