Dimensions: 38 ⅝“ H x 83 ¾” W x ” D
A French, early to mid-20th century four door enfilade transformed more recently with a painted, scraped blue finish applied by hand that beautifully contrasts the linear formality of the wide case. Ethereal layers of pigment suggest Gustavian and Provincial inspiration using a lightly patinated faux finishing effect to wash the wood in a dusty shade of blue. Four paneled doors enclose the unpainted interior, secured by magnetic catches and released by a gentle pull on the understated brass knobs.

A statement piece for a dining room or foyer, this 19th century Louis XVI style enfilade demonstrates refined taste and luxury in any scenario. The original, white marble slab conforms to the breakfront of the demilune shape, protruding over the middle section before sloping back toward the wall, the stone traced with thin ribbons of gray veining. Two rectangular drawers in the center use elegantly curved drop handles to open; the right drawer is organized into five sections while the left drawer is undivided. Surprisingly, the curved left and right corners aren’t fixed but fully functioning drawers as well, swinging out by their ring pulls at a 45 degree angle to the case. In the main body, four doors with stunning mahogany fronts enclose the various storage compartments: quarter-round cabinets to the sides offering two small shelves each (sharing a key between them) and a wide cabinet with single shelf (20 ½” deep) behind the middle doors right sharing one key between them.

Storage options of the large case are arranged as three drawers across the frieze and four cabinet doors below representing three distinct compartments that will keep a dining room, living room, or foyer organized. Below the wide drawer (at center) is the larger of the three cabinets, flanked on the other side of the pilaster by smaller cabinets all using their own working locks and keys to open.

Dimensions: 31 ⅜” H x 86 ⅝” W x 17 ¾” D
French Mid-century Modern (circa 1960) walnut sideboard of undeniable Scandinavian-Danish inspiration, to offer practical and attractive storage in a dining or living room. The rectangular case is separated into three storage options: each sliding door represents a compartment, with a stack of four drawers to the right. Note that holes are drilled for pegs to support a shelf inside the compartments, however the original shelves are not present. The top drawer retains the original red felt lining to cushion serving pieces if using a sideboard or buffet in a dining room. Another drawer has been adapted by cutting a small opening in the bottom (perhaps for a cable or cord). Hand-carved finger pulls on the drawers are sleek and sculptural, like the inset handles of the doors which balance the modern qualities of the design with organic references. Inside the left cabinet is the original sticker of “NF Ameublement” to indicate its mark of quality that is still apparent and endures sixty-plus years later. This beautiful case piece has been cleaned, tightened and polished with a French paste wax to last for generations to come. Please view the detailed images.

The beige marble slab conforms to the breakfront that hangs over the middle section before sloping back toward the wall, the stone traced with abstract veining of gray ribbons. Note that there is a break on the rear left corner, see the image gallery for more information. Three rectangular drawers in the center are lined in felt material with various folds and slots to organize a collection of silverware. They are separated by gilt bronze appliques of foliate design over fluted pilasters in between the lower cabinet doors and all drawers use gilt bronze laurel wreath ring pulls. Surprisingly, the curved left and right corners aren’t fixed but fully functioning drawers as well, sliding out at a 45 degree angle to the case.

A stunning, late 19th century French buffet in a variety of exotic materials that radiates sophistication and unabashed luxury in a dining room or other living space. The top surface of brecciated marble features patches of gray and taupe stone surrounded by ribbons of white and orange veining, finished with a bowed front in the center that conforms to the slight projection of the storage case below. Burled maple veneer wrapping the storage case exhibits uniquely figured patterns of tightly swirled grain and dense accumulation of “eyes” in a glorious shade of honey-gold. Ebonized inlay in thin pinstripes creates definition on the two drawer front and two doors, with a geometric inlay using mahogany applied to the curved panel at center. Neoclassical ormolu appliques in floral motif armor the front corners, matching the swagged drawer handles and ornate escutcheons over the doors. Both doors retain working locks to enclose the undivided cabinet offering a long, fixed shelf, 15 ¾” deep. Conical feet nod to modernity without the expected fluting, raising the piece from the floor. Cleaned, tightened, and polished with French paste wax this fascinating antique buffet is ready for your interior.

French 19th Century Empire Buffet in Recent Paint
$6,500.0042.25"H x 61"W x 25"D
Dimensions: 42 ¼” H x 61” W x 25” D
A very unique French Empire 19th century buffet, or desserte server, in demilune profile and more recent painted finish of uncertain age. The top surface is a handpainted faux marble that is nearly all black except for delicate wisps of smoky gray veining. In the frieze are three drawers: one in each corner that swings outward at an angle, and one wide drawer in the center, all using lion-motif ring pulls. The case is washed in an ethereal tone of French gray with matte texture and mottled variation blending streaks of white, gray, and blue pigment that might easily blend with Directoire or Gustavian tastes more than the opulence of Empire. Carved wood caryatids in ebonized (painted) effect flank the pair of doors at center, which open in tandem by working lock and key. Inside the case are two shelves at different depths that could be perfect to use this case piece as a dry bar or dining room storage. The caryatids terminate at the floor as robust, pawed feet, while the ebonized pilasters toward the back are undecorated. Please view the detailed images to see more of this inspired buffet.

A transitional 19th century French mahogany and white marble buffet, combining Louis XVI elements with clean geometric lines to contrast the expressive wood grain patterns.
