About the Item

A stately 19th century French Louis XVI style enfilade buffet, handcrafted by talented artisans in the Normandy region of solid walnut, circa 1840s. Sourced near the historic town of Bayeux — famed for its storied châteaux and the legendary Bayeux Tapestry depicting the events leading to the Norman conquest of England — this substantial buffet was likely made for the dining room of a grand country manor or estate. The impressive case features a rectangular plank top resting above four drawers, each fitted with original circular wooden pulls. Below, four carved panel doors open to reveal two spacious interior compartments, each divided by a single fixed shelf — perfect for storing everything from serving platters and linens to tableware, silver, or a cherished crystal collection. Raised on turned bun feet with a slightly domed onion profile, the buffet’s clean neoclassical lines, restrained molding, and expressive walnut grain reflect the timeless elegance of Louis XVI furniture. Its deep, rich patina adds warmth and character, with natural variations that hint at generations of use and craftsmanship. Striking in scale and presence, this commanding antique enfilade offers both beauty and functionality — an ideal anchor for large dining rooms, dramatic foyers, or expansive gallery walls in both traditional and modern spaces.
