Crafted in the early 20th century, it reflects the era’s renewed fascination with Gothic design, interpreted through the warmth and solidity of traditional oak furniture.
The façade is defined by deeply recessed panels adorned with elaborate Gothic motifs, each carved in bold relief from solid oak. The wood displays a beautifully aged surface and rich tone, enhancing the dimensional quality of the ornamentation. Vertical elements frame the doors with architectural presence, while the open lower tier introduces lightness beneath the substantial upper case.
Striking carved figures ~ courtly attendants reminiscent of a medieval French court ~ stand between the panels, lending narrative character and sculptural drama to the composition. Their presence reinforces the Gothic Revival influence and adds a sense of history and pageantry.
All hardware is original and hand-forged in steel, including distinctive Gothic-style escutcheons that complement the carved decoration. The ironwork provides texture and authenticity, harmonizing with the depth of the oak and underscoring the craftsmanship of the piece.
A compelling expression of early 20th century French Gothic Revival design, this buffet brings architectural romance, artistry, and enduring character to any interior.
Circa early 1900s.
