Early 19th Century French Directoire Period Stripped Oak Buffet

Price: $4,400

Early 19th Century French Directoire Period Stripped Oak Buffet is an historically significant piece, recalling the period as France transitioned out of the Empire style into a more staid architecture and level of embellishment that realized the essence of classicism.  Diagonal patterns cut into the panels and drawers are accentuated by the fine molded detail, fluting, and a pair of turned columns on each corner.  Rosettes are artfully placed for accents, with stylish steel bale pulls and key guards as a finishing touch.  Completely hand-crafted from solid old-growth oak for centuries of daily use!  Note the heavy rough-cut plank construction of the back in the photos supplied.
Circa 1800-1810
Measures 47.5H x 57.5W x 20D
