About the Item

Buffet from France in the Louis XVI style. This piece is made of solid mahogany construction that has been ebonized and finished with a lustrous French polish of museum quality. There are two doors that open to interior wood shelving. The doors are trimmed with brass and have working locks and key. Brass trim adorns the bottom of the buffet as well. The top features a Sainte Anne gray marble slab original to the piece. It is in very nice antique condition – the photos accurately depict the condition. Louis XVI Style refers to the style defined by the period in France under the reign of King Louis XVI (1760-1789) — the last French monarch before the Revolution. Inspired by the discoveries of Pompeii and Herculaneum, this era saw a revival of Greek and Roman styles. There was a sharp movement away from the Rococo style, as curved lines and heavy ornamentation became unfashionable, giving way to clean, straight lines. Restrained, geometrical forms were preferred and stylized references to classical Greek architecture were recaptured. Furniture and interiors were refined, sophisticated, calm and symmetrical.
