Walnut sideboard with scallop shell – Louis XV – 18th century – Lot Valley
What jumps out at first glance, when looking at this sideboard, are the medallions of the two doors worked in projecting molding. Patterns of points, windings and curved lines describe around these medallions a skilfully convoluted rim.
The lower of the cabinet is decorated by a cord molding, punctuated by points and windings that continue up to wrap the feet in volutes.
In the center, featured, we can admire a stylized scallop, a symbol of fertility.
By itself, this shell concentrates and confirms the impression of softness and femininity that emanates from this charming piece of furniture.
Price: on demand.
