Early 19th Century French Provincial Louis XV Style Pear Wood Tall Buffet

About the Item

A stately and beautifully aged tall buffet in the Louis XV Provincial style, handcrafted in Brittany, France, circa 1820. This elegant cabinet is composed of solid pear wood with a deep, rich patina that has developed over two centuries of use and care. The warm tone and fine grain of the pear wood add to the charm and authenticity of this regional French piece. The buffet features a classic two-part form: an upper and lower cabinet, each with two doors showcasing shaped and molded panels typical of the Louis XV style. The central stile is carved with graceful floral motifs, mirrored in the carved frieze and apron, reflecting the traditional craftsmanship of rural France. Two central drawers between the cabinets offer added storage and practicality. Original iron escutcheons and hardware remain intact, enhancing the buffet's period authenticity. The hand-carved details, scalloped apron, and softly curving lines combine rustic charm with refined ornamentation. This piece is a rare and functional example of early 19th-century French craftsmanship, ideal for kitchens, dining rooms, or living spaces with a love for timeless character and European country elegance.
