Ntique Empire Style Buffet Cabinet
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. We start by looking at the amazing paned glass on the doors, this is not a grid-work, but a series of individual beveled glass pieces each framed in the gorgeous upper cabinet doors. Next we can look at the floral bow on the cornice, it is almost as if you were looking at the arch of a magnificent palace; it is truly a spectacle you are sure to notice. Columns accented by arches 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 buffet should reside in a place of honor in your home.oc721c302
