About the Item

Elegant yet quietly commanding, this early 20th century French Louis XVI style buffet, circa 1900, blends classical symmetry with a soft, sun-bleached finish that highlights its refined neoclassical details. Handcrafted in the South of France from solid cherrywood, the case features a clean lined silhouette with a rectangular beveled plank top above reeded brass corner plaques that reflect the era's architectural rigor. The two drawers are adorned with urn-form drawer pulls encircled by twisted laurel wreaths. The paneled doors below are framed in crisp geometric molding and mounted at the center of each door is a classical urn rendered in cast brass, a signature neoclassical motif that reinforces the formal balance of the piece. Each panel is further defined by contrasting dark wood inlay, forming an “X” pattern that draws the eye inward while adding subtle graphic contrast. Raised on short tapered legs ending in brass sabots, providing a restrained yet elegant lift that completes the piece’s tailored profile. The bleached cherrywood finish softens the formality of the design, revealing subtle grain patterns and enhancing the warmth of the natural wood. The resulting patina is light and warm, with a relaxed Provençal sensibility that brings a fresh, timeless elegance to any setting. Whether placed in a dining room, entryway, or used as a bar or serving piece, this versatile antique buffet offers classical refinement with a whisper of French countryside charm.
