French Louis XIV Style Bleached Oak 4-Door Enfilade Buffet, Circa 1940s
About the Item
An elongated French buffet with more than two doors is known as an enfilade. This bleached four-door enfilade (from circa 1940s) has been hand-carved in the style of Louis XIV. All four doors open to reveal a segmented compartment (three in total, as the center section is fronted by the two double doors), each with one adjustable shelf. The rectangular doors have been carved with two hallmarks of the Louis XIV style: panels having arched tops with shaped indents and luxurious molding. There are also two belt drawers with oval handles above the shorter center doors, featuring thick rectangular molding.
Thick quarter-round molding to the top softens the rectilinear nature of the enfilade, as does the several layers of molding on the low-profile apron. Two large bun feet in the front can be seen beneath the skirt, while the two back feet are blocked. The sides are also very linear, consisting of rectangular panels with subtle chamfered edges on the sides. Bleaching the wood has given the enfilade a tan finish with golden accents, also adding more visibility to the staggering oak wood grains and the round dowel construction, both enhancing the character of our Louis XIV-style enfilade. Place it in a hallway, on a landing, or in the living room for a storage piece with restrained elegance.

- Antique French Bleached Oak Hunt Buffet “St. Hubert”, Circa 1880Located in Dallas, TXKnown as a “St Hubert”, this impressive oak hunt buffet features a well-carved back wall with two shelves set above a traditional buffet body. This structure, as well as the presence of the highly detailed and scrolled pilasters, are hallmarks of a St Hubert buffet or vaisselier. Additionally, St Hubert was the patron saint of hunters, so pieces such as ours almost always feature hunting trophies or carvings of animals. Perhaps the most noticeable carving is the ornate crown, which has a pair of winged lions flanking a shaped coat of arms topped by a scalloped shell with foliate margents running under the mythical creatures. Two more winged lions (with large monopodial feet) make up the pilasters that support the bottom shelf. The pilasters of the upper shelf are scrolled architectural elements with a curled leaf façade. Both shelves have volute leaf curls on each side, while the back wall has two foliate margents with a raised roundel medallion, set inside a rectangular border adorned with foliage. The same rectangular border can be seen on all four doors of the main body, each enveloping a unique carving inspired by nature. Both center doors have been embellished with trophies of felled birds, opening to reveal a single shelf. The side doors, which have been meticulously carved in a curved fashion, feature fruit and floral bouquets tied with crinkled ribbons, and front a shaped shelf. Above each door is a drawer festooned with rectangular molding and foliate margents, separated by square joinery embellished with rosettes and leaf clusters. Buffets such as ours would have been used as presentation pieces for fresh game in French hunting lodges...Category
