What is a French Hunt Cabinet? French Hunt Cabinets are typically a two-piece cabinet with base and top. Of course, the top section might have glass fitted in the doors and/or is used primarily for display. Typically, the bottom cabinet has two drawers and two cupboard doors. Consistent with all Hunt Cabinets, though, is the theme of the carvings and decoration. The hunt, or in French, “La Chasse,” is an age-old pastime of French nobles and elite. The sport of the hunt became increasingly popular in the 19th century. As a demonstration of valor and bravery, hunting in the perilous French woods became both a symbol of wealth and masculinity. Of course, these country homes were no small cottages, but rather showy estates. Often built of stone with turrets and fortresses, many dating back to feudal times, these manor houses called for large and impressive furniture. Thus, nearly all antique French Hunt Cabinets feature a strong Renaissance Revival or Gothic taste. Heavy carvings, deep exaggerated carvings and dark finishes also characterized hunt furniture. Often, hanging pheasants, hares, deer, stags and other prey elaborately hang from the doors and drawers of these antique cabinets. Typically, realistic leaves, branches and flowers also make up the carvings of a hunt cabinet. The three-dimensional quality of these antique cabinets was meant to impress! Craftsmanship of this caliber took weeks and sometimes months of work to complete and was no easy or inexpensive task.
