LXVI CHERRY FRENCH ANTIQUE SIDEBOARD BUFFET – GREY MARBLE TOP
Rooted in the neoclassical tradition, this Louis Sixteen cherry wood grey marble top french antique sideboard buffet exemplifies the harmonious balance and architectural elegance of the late 18th century. The piece stands with quiet confidence, its rectilinear form softened by subtly tapered fluted legs and framed panelled doors.
Crafted from solid cherry, the french antique sideboard buffet boasts a rich, golden patina that reveals the fine grain and warmth of the wood. The top is crowned with a sophisticated grey marble slab, veined with delicate nuances, offering a striking yet refined contrast to the cabinetry below. Three upper drawers provide accessible storage, while the lower compartments, enclosed by brass-mounted doors, offer generous space for linens, tableware, or decorative pieces.
Elegant yet practical, this french antique sideboard buffet brings timeless structure and charm to any dining room, entry hall, or gallery wall. A collector’s piece with enduring appeal, it’s a quintessential representation of Louis XVI design – grounded in symmetry, elevated by craftsmanship, and made to stand the test of time.

Characteristics of louis XVI furniture
Louis XVI furniture reflects the elegance and order of neoclassical design, marking a return to symmetry, straight lines, and Greco-Roman inspiration after the ornate curves of the Rococo period. Pieces from this era—spanning roughly 1774 to 1793—feature refined proportions, fluted legs resembling ancient columns, and restrained ornamentation such as laurel wreaths, ribbon motifs, and rosettes. Materials like mahogany, walnut, and gilt bronze mountings are commonly used, often paired with marble tops for a luxurious yet balanced aesthetic.
The emphasis is on harmony, purity of form, and timeless sophistication—making Louis XVI a favorite among antique connoisseurs and interior designers seeking enduring style and historical authenticity.
Understanding Louis XVI Furniture Style
Emerging during the late 18th century under the reign of King Louis XVI, this style marked a decisive shift toward classical refinement and architectural influence. Louis XVI furniture is instantly recognizable by its clean lines, rectilinear shapes, and meticulous symmetry—a deliberate contrast to the playful flourishes of the Louis XV period.
Tapered, fluted legs echo ancient Roman columns, while decorative elements like acanthus leaves, medallions, and delicate guilloché patterns evoke antiquity with a French twist. The craftsmanship prioritizes structural clarity over opulence, favoring restraint, precision, and noble materials. Revered for its balance of elegance and formality, Louis XVI furniture remains a cornerstone of European decorative arts and a benchmark of neoclassical taste.
