French Louis XVI style sideboard, early 20th century. This fruitwood sideboard opens with five doors (three straight doors on the front and two rounded doors on the sides) and five drawers arranged in the same way as the doors. This piece of furniture is the result of Parisian work and more particularly of the Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, a site renowned for its cabinetmakers' workshops, its furniture stores, its Boulle school. This piece of furniture is a very beautiful work of cabinetmaking, made by a passionate craftsman. The sideboard is decorated with ornate bronzes on the lock entries, keys, drawer handles, at the ends of the feet called "turned" by the presence of sabots, and the various uprights. The five doors in the open position each reveal a shelf. The five shelves are held in place with brass dowels. The flat panels are enhanced with edging around the perimeter on both the front and sides of the piece of furniture. The top of the cabinet is a luminous white marble with black veins. It is thick, robust, and timeless. Its appearance is refined and attractive. The marble is molded around the perimeter. The drawers can be used to store cutlery sets. They are mounted in a dovetail joint, ensuring perfect solidity. This allows them to be opened daily and contain numerous objects. They slide perfectly. This piece of furniture charms us with its large proportions, its refinement, and its elegance. The sideboard has been cleaned using a biological preventive treatment, thus avoiding any odors in a natural way. A practical storage solution in a living room, this sideboard is a functional, beautiful piece of furniture in perfect condition that will lend itself to many uses in an interior. It is appreciated as much for its storage capacity as for its aesthetic qualities. This exceptional piece will harmonize with any interior.
