This incredible piece of furniture is indescribably beautiful. There are times when words cannot fully convey the true splendor of these magnificent pieces; this is one such occasion. This style evolved during the reign of King Louis XVI of France, during the twenty years previous to the Revolution the style of French furniture reached a high standard of artistic excellence, both in design and execution, although it is a direct reaction from the Rococo ornamentation and the excessive curves of the previous reign. Straight lines replaced flowing curves and floral patterns and acanthus leaves gave way to finials and delicate inlays. This piece is a magnificent specimen of an all-original antique from this time period. It is exquisite from foot to crown. Arches are a prevalent theme of this wonderful piece. You eye will be drawn to the carvings over the backsplash and display area. This piece features some of the most intricate carvings that we have ever seen. Arched columns on the sides flow into the lower half of this piece. The serving area of the buffet has a row of finials that form a display area for china plates. The two dovetailed drawers on the bottom have their original brass pulls and feature fluted grooves on the front. Relief columns accent the lower sides, and the lower cabinet doors are carved with wonderful floral medallions. Every part of this piece is extraordinary. This piece should reside in a place of honor in your home. oc721c302
