Antique French Gothic Sideboard
This period of about 350 years covers a wide range of development in the decorative arts from early crude simplicity to later luxurious elaboration. During the whole of this period, French artists preferred to express themselves in stone. Exquisitely wrought tracery was the special glory of every church and Cathedral. At this period the same forms appeared in both secular and religious work. The pointed arch, carved, foliated ornament and tracery are the signs manual of the style. Gothic furniture followed closely upon the architectural mode in vogue during the period. Simplicity and portability were the main characteristics of that furniture. This buffet has many of these attributes. Massive iron hinges, carved arches and medieval heraldry all blend together to create a beautiful piece that you are sure to love. Made from solid oak, this piece is incredibly sturdy. One interesting feature you are sure to notice is the painted carving on both the drawers and on the cabinet doors. This detail is quite unusual. The floral carvings on the drawers are wonderful, and the gothic arches on the doors are carved very deeply. This piece offers plenty of space for all your storage needs. Place it in your dining room for a touch of style. However you decide to use this piece, you are sure to fall for its old world charm. ro1147
