Sideboard chest in oak – Louis XV – 18ᵗʰ century – South West France
Astonishing trompe-l’oeil fantasy on this little sideboard which seems to have two drawers even though it opens on the top like a chest.
Another daring mix of genres: made in the 18th century by a traveling furniture carpenter, from beautiful oak planks stored in the attic of a Périgord farm, it nonetheless presents all the delicacy of the Louis XV style.
- The door panels are decorated with moldings with semicircular and pointed movements.
- Two sculpted rosettes mark the center of the top and bottom rails.
- The fretwork of the bottom crosspiece is also a beautiful tribute to the Louis XV style.
- The sides are elegantly paneled.
Once opened, this piece of furniture constitutes a pleasant display for old pottery which is there sheltered and enhanced.
At the rear, you can recognize the thick planks of raw oak as chosen by the craftsman who fashioned this sideboard in 18th century Périgord.
High on foot, this sideboard combines a robust body with graceful ornamentation. This enchants and softens its general appearance.
