French 19th Century Louis XV Style Cherry Bonnetière with Intricate Hardware

About the Item

A French early 19th century cherry wood Louis XV style bonnetière from the Charente Region. This French cabinet was born in the Southwestern region of Charente (think Angoulême) , famous for its traditional production of salt and cognac. Originally created in the Normandy area of France, bonnetières started to spread throughout France during the 18th century. Made to receive bonnets and ‘coiffes’ (the traditional headpieces of each region) this armoire features a single door with nicely carved recessed panel. The large cornice that tops the piece is canted on the sides, while the frieze below is adorned with a central star-inlaid motif. The side posts which are also canted, are fluted and topped with a petite dentil molding below each capital. An exquisite hardware adornes the door and lower drawer. The door opens to reveal three inner shelves. The lower drawer attracts all the attention with its intricate hardware, visually accentuating the star in a diamond inlaid motif. The ensemble is raised on short scrolled feet, connected to one another with a delicately scalloped apron. With its nice proportions and warm patina, this French early 19th century Louis XV style cabinet will be a lovely addition to any room.

    Located in Atlanta, GA
    A French late 18th century Louis XV style cherry two-part vaisselier with original hardware and open shelves over two drawers and two doors. This French buffet à deux-corps features a bonnet-shaped pediment carved with delicate foliage motifs, sitting above an open-shelved upper cabinet. The deep shelves (12 inches) are made of baluster-adorned rails, creating the perfect setting to display beautiful serveware. The lower section comprises two thin drawers, decorated with flower backplated hardware, above two carved doors with shaped recessed panels. This set of double doors opens to reveal two inner shelves. The ensemble is raised on scrolled feet in the front, connected to one another with a beautifully scalloped skirt, carved with a delicate foliage motif in its center. The fluted side posts, echoed on the central beam separating the double doors, are reminiscent of the taste of the Louis XVI era for such motifs. With its clean lines, subtly balanced by the gentle curves of the pediment, skirt and legs, and warm patina of the cherry wood, this French 1790s...
