Provençal Sideboard

France, 20th Century

$3,495

Vintage One-Of-A-Kind Hard To Find

Found in Avignon, this 20th-century Provençal sideboard is a long four-door enfilade in the Louis XV style of the south, with the shaped door panels, scalloped tops, and curved iron escutcheons that have run through Provençal cabinetwork for three centuries. Four small drawers sit in a row above the four lower doors, the kind of layout that turns a sideboard into the central piece of a long dining room: silver and napkins above, plates and bottles below. The escutcheons are forged in the deep curves of the Provençal blacksmith tradition, and the original brass key still turns in every lock. Sylvie places it in a dining room with a row of brass candlesticks across the top and the key left in the locks.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. The piece has been sanded to raw wood, with metal elements showing a rusted patina, and includes three original keys. It is very heavy, top that lifts off and has open storage inside the cabinet.
