The piece is distinguished by its graceful cabriole legs and scalloped apron - hallmarks of a style that brought the elegance of the city to the functional beauty of the French countryside.
Circa 1850, this original period piece was made at a time when provincial craftsmen continued to celebrate the romantic, flowing lines of the earlier 18th-century tradition.
Crafted from solid walnut with a rich, natural grain and finished with a soft, hand-waxed patina that has deepened beautifully over time. Rooted in the Rococo tradition, this cabinet reflects the French Provincial love for light, curved forms and functional elegance designed for the heart of the home. See less
