French Grey Painted Louis XV Style Two-Part Bibliothèque Custom-Made in 1978

About the Item

A large French vintage Louis XV style painted two-part bookcase with glass doors, custom-made for a client in 1978. This French bibliothèque features a dark grey painted cornice, sitting above a breakfront façade. The central section showcases two glass doors in the upper level, adorned with curvy motifs typical of the Louis XV era. Two cabinets, smaller in size, flank this central accent. The four doors open to reveal multiple inner shelves, perfect to receive a variety of books. A dark grey molding separates the two levels and conceals a pull-out drawer. The lower section echoes the same structure on a smaller scale, sans the glass doors. The regular accentuation of dark grey highlights the beauty of the light grey finish used on the ensemble. With its great proportions and elegant Louis XV lines showing a subtle contemporary edge, this French bibliothèque from 1978 will be an excellent choice for any living room, office or library.

  • French 1790s Louis XV Style Cherry Vaisselier with Baluster Adorned Shelves
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    A French late 18th century Louis XV style cherry two-part vaisselier with original hardware and open shelves over two drawers and two doors. This French buffet à deux-corps features a bonnet-shaped pediment carved with delicate foliage motifs, sitting above an open-shelved upper cabinet. The deep shelves (12 inches) are made of baluster-adorned rails, creating the perfect setting to display beautiful serveware. The lower section comprises two thin drawers, decorated with flower backplated hardware, above two carved doors with shaped recessed panels. This set of double doors opens to reveal two inner shelves. The ensemble is raised on scrolled feet in the front, connected to one another with a beautifully scalloped skirt, carved with a delicate foliage motif in its center. The fluted side posts, echoed on the central beam separating the double doors, are reminiscent of the taste of the Louis XVI era for such motifs. With its clean lines, subtly balanced by the gentle curves of the pediment, skirt and legs, and warm patina of the cherry wood, this French 1790s...
