Title

18th century French Louis XVI period solid cherry enfilade buffet handcrafted in Lyon, circa 1780s. Having a banded plank top with canted corners, this Lyonnaise enfilade features neoclassical motifs that include a frieze with fluting separated by three hand carved rosettes above the four carved paneled doors that open to reveal a single shelf. The carved apron repeats the fluting and rosettes flanking a carved center urn. Raised on short tapering fluted legs. A beautiful provincial piece with a wonderful aged patina that provides excellent storage and a great surface for serving and display. The narrow depth of this versatile buffet makes it perfect for a foyer, hallway, dining room, or as a TV cabinet.​

 

Lyon, the culinary capital of France, is renowned for its furniture production during the 18th century, and its style is among the most celebrated and successful provincial styles, including Provençal, Normand, and Bordelaise.

 

The French word "enfilade" in architecture refers to a series of salons or rooms, formally aligned with one another, that provide a sweeping view through the entire suite of rooms, where one walked "on file" or "en filade." The enfilade served to organize space and vision and is a common feature found in many of France's grand palaces from the Baroque period. The term later became associated with large scale buffets that had more than two cabinet doors. When open, all of the doors reveal interior storage bisected by a shelf that effectively doubles the amount of usable space.
