A French 18th Century Louis XV Cherry Enfilade with Single Drawer Over Three Doors. This elegant long buffet from the second half of the 18th century features a rectangular three-plank top with canted corners and a delicate rais-de-coeur frieze along the three sides. Its expertly crafted pegged construction reflects the maker's attention to detail. The central hand-cut dovetailed drawer sits above a beautifully carved door, flanked by taller doors with simple raised panels that echo the central drawer, creating a subtle visual rhythm. The moldings transition from upward scrolls in the center to downward scrolls on the sides, enhancing the overall elegance. The scalloped apron is supported by two scrolled legs in the front and straight legs in the back, exemplifying the supreme Louis XV style. This enfilade showcases the refined rocaille taste of France, with its rich cherrywood patina and graceful silhouette, making it a wonderful choice for any living or dining area.
