The Louis XV sideboard was once a furniture for storing dishes, linens or provisions, it was found in the house in the kitchen or dining room. Each era has its own decoration in terms of furnishing, which distinguishes it. Wardrobe or buffet the finishes differ from one style to another. Thus, when it comes to enfilade, we distinguish especially the chest Louis XV . This furniture is particularized as well in its ornament as in its elegance.

The Louis XV buffet

The Louis XV style furniture spreads mainly from 1723 to 1750, ie in the second quarter of the 18th century. Its beginning is determined by the Regency period and extends into the following ones. It should be remembered that this period corresponds only approximately to the long reign of Louis XV (known as "the Beloved.") As a reminder, this monarch was born on February 15, 1710 in Versailles and died on May 10, 1774. The Louis XV style is also known as the "Rococo" or "Rococo" style and is one of the most imaginative trends in French furniture art, with its main characteristic being its refinement and comfort, as well as its lightness and a femininity in the movements.

The models of our store are mainly buffets in marquetry, much more refined and decorative. They ask for a more precise work, a great know-how in cabinetmaking, we used formerly precious woods, like the mahogany of Cuba, wood nowadays not found, which one replaces by mahogany of Africa or Asia.

The old buffets

The buffets in Boulle marquetry are louis xv furniture in black lacquered solid wood, inlays are manufactured as in the past, however, we had to adapt the materials, indeed some are now banned for our greatest happiness, and for the preservation of species such as turtles, which were used for making marquetry.

The old buffets of the 19th century were often in solid walnut, our chests are reproductions of the 18th century, the structure is in solid natural wood but they are decorated with precious wood marquetry, sometimes with golden woods and topped with a top marble. The realization of furniture in marquetry requires a know-how and much more work, but the rendering is much more interesting. Chests are sometimes called credence, they are chests topped by a floor by a top opening with two doors. Others are surmounted by shelves for storing the dishes, these are the dressers, sometimes called "buffets enfilades" or buffet two bodies.
