About

Bring timeless French elegance and generous storage to a dining room, entry, or living space with this substantial antique Louis XIV style enfilade, crafted in France circa 1780. Stretching over seven feet in length, the sturdy buffet is built of solid wood and raised on thick tapered legs over a clean straight apron, reflecting the restrained architectural lines associated with provincial Louis XIV furnishings.
The façade features three paneled doors framed by four fluted spline-form pilasters, adding rhythm and refinement to the long silhouette. Each recessed panel is accented with delicately carved corner floral motifs, lending subtle decorative detail without overwhelming the piece’s elegant simplicity. The doors open to reveal spacious interior shelving, offering ample storage for dining service, linens, media equipment, or everyday household use.
The top is dressed with a beautifully hand-painted faux marble surface in soft gray tones with delicate veining and cut front corners, adding depth and sophistication while complementing the cabinet’s neutral painted finish. The buffet retains a richly rubbed patinated surface in layered shades of gray and off-white, showcasing the character and age expected of an 18th century antique. Original locks and two keys are included.
Versatile and highly functional, this long French enfilade would work beautifully beneath a large painting or television, as a dining room serving piece, or anchoring a large hallway or den with understated continental character.
Dimensions: 86″W x 22″D x 37″H
