Description from the seller
Magnificent antique Provençal panetière in solid walnut, sculpted – Louis XV – circa 1880–1920
Magnificent antique Provençal panetière in solid walnut, richly carved, showcasing remarkable artisanal craftsmanship in wood sculpture and turning.
This elegant piece of traditional Provençal furniture stands out with its richly carved front, adorned with floral motifs, garlands, ribbons and volutes. It features numerous turned balusters, finely worked uprights, and superb curved feet with volutes, characteristic of Provençal furniture.
The central section presents a richly sculpted door, equipped with its old lock. The key is present and will be sent with the panetière.
The upper part is embellished with several turned elements, typical of traditional Provençal panetières.
