Louis XV sideboard

The Louis XV buffet is a storage unit with doors. Each era has its own cabinet or buffet, the finishes differ from one style to another.

The Louis XV style buffet

The Louis 15 style spread mainly in the XNUMXth century. Northern furniture of the Renaissance period was often made of solid oak. The furniture sometimes has a curved or straight front.

The Louis XV sideboard is an exceptional piece of furniture that would add a touch of elegance to any contemporary home. Its refined design will light up the eyes of anyone who sees it and will certainly create an elegant aura in the room. With its beautiful precious wood color, it exudes a sense of elegance while creating a relaxed atmosphere. The sideboard itself is made up of two panels that are fixed together by sliding or pivoting metal hinges. This is why the sideboard easily blends in with the existing furniture in the room, so you don't have to worry about your decor.

A storage unit with doors

The Louis XV buffet comes in different forms, such as the dresser or the sideboard, but it always opens with one or more doors. It is generally placed in the kitchen, but can be used for storage and is placed in the dining room.

It is common in the Louis XV style to use precious woods to create marquetry decorations on these pieces of furniture with large surfaces. But there are Louis XV style sideboards in solid cherry wood, which are called Provençal sideboards, a piece of furniture that comes from this region. It was generally made of solid wood and did not have any marquetry. This model was very successful, like the Louis Philippe style sideboard.

The fittings of our models, like antique furniture, are decorated with gilded bronze and topped with real marble.

Old sideboards

The Boulle marquetry sideboards are Louis XV furniture in solid black lacquered wood, the marquetry is made as in the past.

The old 18th century sideboards were often made of solid walnut, our sideboards are reproductions from the XNUMXth century. The structure is made of solid natural wood, but they are decorated with marquetry in precious wood. Sometimes with gilded wood and topped with marble. The XNUMXth century hunting sideboards were made of oak, they had a large number of openings and a carved front, often with an XNUMXth century style dining table. These antiques can only be purchased from antique dealers.

The furniture is sometimes called a credenza (Regency period), these are sideboards topped with a shelf by a top opening with two doors.

First of all, it is important to know how to distinguish a chest of drawers from a sideboard.

The chest of drawers is equipped with drawers, while the buffet has doors. In this category, the Louis XV style Provencal buffets in solid walnut are popular with ornaments often in wrought iron. Still in terms of sideboards, we find enfilades, which are in fact the lower part.

Antiques for sale in antique shops often require restoration by a cabinetmaker.

Today, as then, we use decorations made of precious wood, on structures made of solid wood, with marble tops.

The furniture is handmade and is in perfect condition, it being new unlike an antique. Your purchase will be delivered within six days.
