French 19th Century Burl Walnut Poudreuse Table

About the Item

This mirrored hinged-top burl walnut poudreuse is fitted beautifully with an interior of rare pear wood. Dating back to the 19th century, the French antique piece sports a locked drawer below, also lined with pear wood, and a deep bottom drawer with brass escutcheons. Finally, the four legs and stretcher at bottom are carved and turned in the classic style of the Louis-Phillippe period. The piece is part of the collection from The French Antique Shop, a fourth generation antique store in the heart of the French Quarter of New Orleans. A space that was created and curated at first by Marie and Marcelle and Granet. Their first shop was located in the heart of Paris, and opened in 1919 after they migrated to Paris from Romania post World War I. Shortly after establishing themselves in Paris, as a Jewish family they were forced to flee in the late 1930s before World War II. Marie and Marcel opened up their shop in New Orleans in 1939, the city in which this antique collection has grown and continues to flourish. The store is now run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, Michael, and Brian Friedlander, and is a highly curated space filled with rare antiquities, fine antique lighting, eclectic fixtures, and everything in between. We have imported all the antique items in our collection directly from France.
