About the Item
19th Century country French walnut pannetiere ~ breadbox was considered essential to any well-appointed home back in the days before supermarkets and ordering groceries online. Every day the family would be obliged to produce their own bread from scratch, using the breadbox or petrin for preparation of the dough. Once the bread was baked, the semi-precious commodity ~ some say necessity ~ would be placed in a pannetiere such as this for safekeeping until needed for the noon and evening meals. The seriousness with which the French considered this entire procedure is indicated by the stout lock on the single door! The door is hung by an over-engineered steel barrel hinge, and only the back side is solid, made from pine planks while the remainder of the casework consists of multiple spindle rails, with larger spindles creating the corner posts. The bonnet above and apron below, plus the diminutive door are all rendered from sumptuous, solid walnut, with the crown and apron boldly contoured in definitively French scroll work, lavished with relief carvings depicting wildflowers, wheat, and a Romanesque urn. Pegged mortise & tenon joinery appears throughout the design, indicative of traditional handwork using techniques handed down from generation to generation, making such a splendid artifact a cherished family heirloom for centuries.

19th Century French Henri II Neoclassical Walnut Confiturier, Cabinet
Located in Dallas, TX
19th century French Henri II neoclassical walnut confiturier, cabinet is a stellar example of the petite buffet with one door affectionately called the confiturier because of its original design being intended to store confit jars in the kitchen. At some point it became obvious that a very useful miniature buffet like this would be ideal for other rooms, and the genre blossomed. This example, rendered from sumptuous French walnut, features neoclassical architecture including turned columns carved with fletching on the face fitted with Doric capitals on each cornerpost, flanking the stylized pyramidal heraldic crest on display in full relief at the center of the cabinet door. Fletching also appears on the drawer facade above, with the entire affair graced with fine molded detail.
