An old style buffet

Inevitable in terms of storage, the old sideboard was very fashionable around the second half of the 18th century. It is characterized by the presence of the curved shape and the angles showing a certain complexity, perfectly reflecting the profusion of the Louis XV style. It is a type of furniture representing great utility in different rooms of the house.

Like all antique furniture, identical to the works made by Pierre Migeon II (1701-1758), a renowned cabinetmaker of the 1734th century, and Marie-Antoinette's favorite, Jean-Henri Riesener (1806-XNUMX), the Empire sideboard is distinguished by its framework as well as its finish. Decorated with Boulle marquetry decoration.

Easily recognizable by its opulence, its ostentatious exuberance and its luxurious look, this antique credenza is an excellent reference for decorating your interior in a classy and high-end manner.

A stylish storage unit

Le Empire sideboard is made with boulle marquetry with copper, brass, bronze and imitation tortoiseshell inlay (synthetic). This type of decoration is an art designed in cabinetmaking by expert carpenters, consisting of assembling precious wood veneers associated with other materials, based on a design, to form figurative and ornamental effects. These images are used to enhance the structure of the antique furniture. Boulle marquetry, as its name suggests, is created by the most famous cabinetmaker of the reign of Louis XIV André-Charles Boulle. This style of boulle buffet appeared at the time of Emperor Napoleon I, inspired by Egyptian decoration and military campaigns.

Also as a finish, finely chiseled gilded bronzes with floral motifs, marking the style of the transition, form the decoration of the frame.

This Napoleon III support unit opens on the front with a smooth door and a drawer assembled by dovetails. Its top is made of real black marble.

You can bring some order to your house with an Empire style piece of furniture from the flea market, but your old look will be perfect if you also choose another element from this collection such as sideboards or dressers.
