About the Item

Known in France as a billot de boucher, this long, double butcher block dates to circa 1900. This is a stunning example with a crenellated apron and high rising back wall that softens the overall linear composition. Supported by six tapering spindle legs (three in the front and three in the back), the robust chopping surface stands 32 ½ inches tall. A raised lozenge has been carved over each front leg, also flanking the two amply spaced belt drawers. The shapely back wall has a long, raised ridge that is segmented into three sections, capable of storing knives, tongs, and other kitchen implements. A pair of exposed nail heads can be seen on each of the crests of the back wall, allowing for hanging of certain utensils or towels. The chopping surface has an additional four slots for housing various utensils, making this a very practical option for a kitchen island or prep station.

Antique Carved Oak and Bluestone Regence Style Console from Flanders, Circa 1850
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-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...
