Directoire French Ebonized Buffet, Circa 1910
About the Item
Buffet from France in the Directoire style. This piece is circa 1910. It is made of solid wood construction, primarily cherry-wood. There are four doors that feature detailed brass hardware. The locks are in working condition and there is one key. The three doors on the right side open to interior shelving, while the left most door opens to dovetailed drawers. There are six drawers in all, each with an ebonized front. The whole buffet has been ebonized and finished with a lustrous French polish of museum-quality. We love the classic elegance of the black piece. The buffet sits on tapered legs with brass capped feet. It is in excellent antique condition – the photos accurately depict the condition of the buffet.
During a time of great change in post-revolution France (1790-1805), the Directoire style came about after the execution of Louis XVI. With the monarchy gone, France was governed by the Directoire executif (executive directory), from which the name of the style derives. Many criticized the old regime’s propensity for excessive luxury, and in response they began to opt for sleek, austere designs with light ornamentation. Furniture of the time stressed simple shapes, clean lines and strong proportions. Today these furnishings can be used in virtually any space, thanks to their streamlined forms and casual dignity.
