Buffet in the Louis XVI style from France. This piece is made of solid wood construction, primarily mahogany. It has been ebonized and finished with a lustrous French polish of museum quality. The three dovetailed drawers are all adorned with brass hardware, and brass trim can be found between the drawers as well. The three lower doors all have working locks. The doors open to interior wood shelving. The buffet is supported by toupee legs that are capped with brass feet. The buffet boasts an original intact Carrara marble slab top. It is in very nice antique condition – the photos accurately depict the condition.
Louis XVI Style refers to the style defined by the period in France under the reign of King Louis XVI (1760-1789) — the last French monarch before the Revolution. Inspired by the discoveries of Pompeii and Herculaneum, this era saw a revival of Greek and Roman styles. There was a sharp movement away from the Rococo style, as curved lines and heavy ornamentation became unfashionable, giving way to clean, straight lines. Restrained, geometrical forms were preferred and stylized references to classical Greek architecture were recaptured. Furniture and interiors were refined, sophisticated, calm and symmetrical. less
