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.
