About the Item

Antique French carved oak cabinet Breton Brittany liqor bar sideboard table. Direct from the Brittany region of France, a lovely antique French ‘confiturier’ or jam cabinet. These cabinets are one of our most requested antiques, as they have so many uses in today’s home; from a vanity in the bath, to the kitchen, the foyer with a mirror above, as a wine/liquor cabinet in any room just imagine the possibilities! Highly carved, in true Brittany style, with a detailed, dimensionally carved panel depicting a woman and man, in period dress, by a water well in a carved village scene with thatched roof cottage, cobblestone water well, all underneath a large carved tree. The door also features an open arch with “ship’s wheel’ spindles! Hand carved bandings surround the door panel and continue across the front of the full-length drawer, circa 1920. Note: The Celtic roots of the Brittany region of France are manifest in the furniture produced in this region. The Breton style is as distinctive as its special culture and easily recognizable due to its very ornate carvings. A hallmark feature is the symbolic use of men and women in traditional Celtic dress to represent a strong work ethic, piety, and the enjoyment of life. The local economy in Brittany was heavily dependent on fishing and maritime activities, so one often finds circles and ship's wheels as a common decorative motif. Typically, the furniture is carved out of chestnut or oak, with a dark finish. Measurements: 40.5” ht. x 29” x 21.5”. All of our antiques are direct from Europe.
