About the Item

A rare 19th century French Restauration period kitchen island handcrafted by talented artisans in the South of France in the heart of Languedoc, just outside the medieval city of Narbonne, circa 1810. A rectangular plank top sits above three drawers adorned with circular brass pulls over three hand carved scrolling pilasters that provide a framework for the three panel doors with shield shaped escutcheons that open to reveal a spacious interior with a single shelf that allows plenty of room to store platters, dishes, and other kitchen necessities. Raised on short sabot feet. The back side features three carved recessed panels. The wonderful proportions and rich character of the wood make this versatile piece, finished on both sides so that it can float in the room, both practical and perfect for entertaining. This rare and exceptional 19th century French Restauration period kitchen island, handcrafted by skilled artisans in the heart of Languedoc near the medieval city of Narbonne, circa 1810, beautifully combines elegance and utility. Crafted from rich, warmly patinated walnut wood, the rectangular plank top sits gracefully above three drawers adorned with circular brass pulls, providing both charm and functionality. Beneath the drawers, three hand carved scrolling pilasters frame the paneled doors, each featuring shield shaped escutcheons. The doors open to reveal a spacious interior with a single shelf, offering ample storage for platters, dishes, and other kitchen essentials. Raised on short sabot feet, the cabinet’s proportions are perfectly balanced, giving it a sturdy yet refined presence. Adding to its appeal, the back side is finished with three carved recessed panels, allowing this versatile piece to float beautifully in the center of a room—ideal for both everyday use and entertaining. With its timeless design, impeccable craftsmanship, and rich character, this stunning kitchen island is the perfect blend of practicality and French country sophistication.
