About the Item
Buffet from France in the Directoire style. This piece is made of solid wood construction that has been finished with a milk paint in the pistachio green color. There is gold leaf trim and brass detailing throughout. There are two dovetailed drawers above two doors that open to interior shelving. This piece is in very nice antique condition – the photos accurately depict the condition.
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.
