About the Item

A substantial 19th century French shop counter with original painted finish over beech and walnut construction. Much of the paint has been lost on the top surface, revealing the warm tones and patina of the wood planks contrasting with the pale blue-gray finish on the sides. The back of the fixture is not enclosed, leaving the unpainted interior open to quickly view or access the contents of the shelving that will make this antique fixture perfect for an artist or gardener. Raised panels on three sides of the case have charm and visual interest to float the piece in a room–like a kitchen island–or wherever one needs storage and workspace in one unit. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, please view the detailed images to see more.

French 19th Century Empire Buffet in Recent Paint
Located in Baton Rouge, LA
A very unique French Empire 19th century buffet, or desserte server, in demilune profile and more recent painted finish of uncertain age. The top surface is a handpainted faux marble that is nearly all black except for delicate wisps of smoky gray veining. In the frieze are three drawers: one in each corner that swings outward at an angle, and one wide drawer in the center, all using lion-motif ring pulls. The case is washed in an ethereal tone of French gray with matte texture and mottled variation blending streaks of white, gray, and blue pigment that may just as easily blend with Directoire and Gustavian tastes than the opulence of Empire. Carved wood caryatids in ebonized (painted) effect flank the pair of doors at center, which open in tandem by working lock and key. Inside the case are two shelves at different depths which could be perfect as a dry bar or dining room storage...
