Exquisite 18th century Lyonnaise Carved Walnut Buffet, Country French

About the Item

Country French 18th century Lyonnaise carved walnut two door cabinet with original escutcheons, and hinges, adorned with heavy open work carving coming down from center to the apron, and on the legs with scroll feet. The cabinet has a contoured marble top with old Gothic edge. This piece is a collection of a fourth generation, family owned business in New Orleans called The French Antique Shop. The store was first opened by Marie and Marcel Granet in Paris when they married in 1927. A jewish family, they came to the United States before the outbreak of the Second World War, leaving on the last boat out of Paris' port, Le Havre. When they reached New Orleans, they fell in love with the Vieux Carre as it reminded them of home. Their first shop here in New Orleans was located on Chartres Street in the French Quarter and was stocked originally with pieces they had brought with them from Paris. They moved to Royal Street and settled in their present expanded location at 225 Royal Street in 1947. Today, the shop is run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, and his two sons Michael and Brian.
