About the Item

A stately early 19th century French Directoire period enfilade buffet, handcrafted in the historic city of Lyon, circa early 1800s. Constructed of rich, solid walnut, this elegant piece exemplifies the refined symmetry and restrained neoclassical lines that define the Directoire style. The enfilade features a rectangular plank top above three drawers adorned with circular wood knobs, ideal for storing flatware, linens, and serving utensils. Below, three paneled doors, divided by classic fluted pilasters, open to reveal a spacious interior with a single shelf, offering generous storage and are framed by fluted pilasters, with the two center pilasters ingeniously integrated into the stiles of the central doors, adding both visual rhythm and structural harmony. Behind the doors, a single interior shelf provides ample space for dinnerware, glassware, serving platters, or decorative pieces. Raised on sturdy block feet, this Lyonnaise buffet boasts a warm patina that highlights the natural beauty of the walnut, a true testament to its age and superior craftsmanship. Furniture crafted in Lyon during this period is renowned for its exceptional construction and use of high quality materials, and this enfilade is no exception. Versatile and refined, it's as functional as it is beautiful. Perfect as a sideboard in the dining room, a sophisticated storage solution in a living space, or a statement piece in an entryway. A timeless example of Lyonnaise artistry, it brings enduring French charm and classic sophistication to any interior. Dimensions: h - 40.75" w - 68" d - 21.75"
