Louis XVI Period Parisian Mahogany Hunting Sideboard In The Taste Of Etienne Avril

Hunting sideboard in solid mahogany and mahogany veneer over oak. Elegantly carved and molded with rounded, fluted front jambs resting on a molded base. Capped with thick Turquin blue marble, it opens with 2 doors revealing 2 English-style drawers and a shelf. High-quality Parisian work from the late Louis XVI period. Circa 1785-90. Unstamped, many leading Parisian cabinetmakers may be its height, such as Etienne Avril or Joseph Stockel.

Besides the great elegance of its lines and the very high quality of its workmanship, the hidden drawers with compartments for cutlery, our piece of furniture presents the interest of very practical dimensions: it is longer than a commode, which gives the impression of a large piece of furniture, but less deep than a classic chest of drawers or a large sideboard. Its shallow depth makes it easier to place.

Very good overall condition, the old varnish cleaned and repolished by our cabinetmaker.It is slightly insolated on the front, the doors a little lighter than the sides, but nothing serious. We can re-varnish the sideboard on request and give it perfect homogeneity on demand.
