A statement French Provincial dough bin console, known in France as a pétrin or maie, dressed in warm walnut veneer and built in the Louis XIII taste. The bones tell the story: lathe-turned, columnar legs joined by a scalloped foliate stretcher, the hallmark Louis XIII silhouette, while the front carries a beautifully carved urn-and-basket medallion in the neoclassical Louis XVI manner. A piece that borrows freely from two French courts, exactly as the finest provincial cabinetwork did.
The lift-off top reveals a divided storage trough, a nod to the form's origins as a bread-kneading bin, now a charming secret compartment. Equally at home as an entry console, a bar, or a sculptural storage piece, it brings real presence and a sense of history to a room. Walnut veneer over a hardwood carcass with a lighter turned-leg base, so despite its grand looks it is surprisingly easy to move.
Period: Early-to-mid 20th century, French.
Materials: walnut, walnut veneer.
Style: French Provincial, in the manner of Louis XIII.
Dimensions: 37 5/8" W x 17 5/8" D x 39 1/4" H

The hinges appear to have been replaced at some point in recent years, consistent with a piece of this age. Please note some veneer loss to the underside of the removable top (hidden when the top is in place), a faint water ring to the top surface, and mild overall signs of use consistent with age such as faint surface markings visible when examined under direct studio light. Please see photos for details. less
