An exquisite antique French Louis XVI style enfilade buffet, handcrafted in Paris of walnut, circa 1920s, that embodies the timeless appeal and meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with Parisian ateliers and epitomizes the elegance and sophistication of its era. Every detail, from the gracefully curved lines to the intricate brass accents, speaks to the expertise and dedication of the artisans who created it. Atop the buffet rests the original gracefully curved and shaped Saint Ann gray marble top, providing a luxurious surface for serving or display. The arrangement of the drawers and doors is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, with two center drawers flanked by slightly stepped-back drawers on each side, all decorated with brass trim and adorned with beaded circular pulls, enhancing the piece's visual appeal. The focal point of the buffet is its pair of recessed panel center doors, flanked by single stepped-back doors on each side, all separated by fluted columns for added refinement. Upon opening these doors, a spacious interior with a single shelf offers ample storage, perfect for organizing dining essentials or other household items. The decorative inverted curved shapes on each side of the buffet contribute to its overall elegance. Raised on six slender and tapered toupie shaped feet with brass collars ending in brass sabots and two additional block feet in back for additional stability. Original brass hardware throughout adds to the authenticity, and the rich patina and fresh French polish enhances the allure of this piece, further accentuating its timeless beauty and craftsmanship. Whether used for storage, serving, or as a focal point in a dining room, this versatile French Louis XVI style enfilade, with it's refined ornamentation and neoclassical influences, is a captivating addition to any home. Offering both functionality and beauty inspired by the grandeur of France's architectural heritage, it commands attention and adds a touch of luxury to any interior space.
The French term "enfilade" in architecture refers to a series of salons or rooms, formally aligned with one another, that provide a sweeping view through the entire suite of rooms, where one walked "on file" or "en filade." It's fascinating how the term has evolved to encompass both architectural and furniture design elements. In the case of large scale buffets like the one described, the term "enfilade" aptly captures the alignment and formal organization of multiple doors, akin to the architectural concept of rooms aligned in sequence. The utilization of multiple cabinet doors in the buffet, all revealing interior storage bisected by a shelf, not only maximizes storage capacity but also maintains a sense of harmony and symmetry in the design. This clever use of space reflects the ingenuity and attention to detail characteristic of French furniture craftsmanship. By drawing inspiration from architectural principles, furniture designers were able to create pieces that not only served practical purposes but also evoked a sense of grandeur and elegance reminiscent of France's grand palaces. Thus, the term "enfilade" not only describes a layout of rooms but also serves as a fitting descriptor for the organizational and spatial qualities found in certain types of furniture, enriching our understanding of both architectural and interior design traditions.
