Antique Oak Calvados Barrel on Stand from Normandy, Circa 1850
About the Item
A must-have for any wine lover, this oak calvados barrel was hand-carved in France, circa 1850. Calvados is an apple and pear brandy specifically manufactured in Normandy, with the first known record of production dating to 1553. The ovate barrel is bound together by eight iron straps, with an H-stretcher on the front façade to help keep the overall form. Beneath the stretcher is an access door held fast by a foliate strap affixed by a bolt with a small brass spigot below. A more recent, shaped stand allows the calvados barrel to be displayed in a kitchen, wine room, or den.

- Antique Carved Oak and Bluestone Regence Style Console from Flanders, Circa 1850Located in Dallas, TXHand-carved circa 1850 in the northern reaches of France, known as French Flanders, this oak console or “table a Gibier” has a lovely black bluestone top with white and gray veining. The 1 ½ inch thick top, which has an inverted quarter-round molding, is supported by four long, cabriole legs adorned with elements inspired by nature, such as roquillards, rosettes, floral and foliate margents, and hoof feet. Horizontal margents on the front belt are overshadowed by the elaborate embellishments below. A central carving depicts an Apolline mascaron set within an attenuated leaf wreath, evoking a sense of classical elegance. Below the medallion is a sprawling pierced foliate apron, which is also seen on the sides, but less grand in scale. The stretcher, as is customary with Regence-style furniture, has a modified, serpentine X-stretcher with a center rosette. Given the transitional nature of the Regence period in French history, our bluestone top console...Category
