18th Century Country French Regence Buffet in Stripped Oak was crafted during the reign of Louis XVI who championed the neoclassical revival, but the country was in such a state of turmoil rural artisans did not necessarily follow the trends set by the court, as had been done for centuries prior. Hand-crafted from select old-growth oak, this unusual example features a thick plank top with a half-bullnose bevel around the edge, which overlooks the top tier of three drawers. The outer drawers are conveniently accessed with a pair of brass knobs each, while the center drawer has a brass key guard only, indicating this was the cutlery drawer and needed to be secured from the curious hands of the youngsters. All three drawers have a cross hatched background, with the outer drawers depicting foliate sprays integrated with the background. Below, two large cabinet doors and one smaller door in the center all feature a finely molded framework surrounding carved panels. The outermost feature stylized fleurs de lys on scrolled raised panels, while the center door features a diamond form filled with a classic Rococo motif of a stylized shell with foliates in an asymmetrical design. All three doors are enhanced with brass key guards and open to reveal a very spacious interior. The undulating scrolled apron below, which is supported by scrolled legs, provides support. Note the generous use of pegged mortise & tenon joinery throughout the design, front and solid oak hand-chamfered panels even on the back! Painstakingly stripped using our proprietary process that retains the patina and sheer natural beauty of the old wood, all performed by our expert in-house staff.
