18th-Century French Black Painted Oak Sideboard - 88½" x 19¼"

This French 18th-century enfilade is a striking example of provincial Louis XIV craftsmanship, made from solid oak and finished in a deeply patinated black paint. Its three-door façade is adorned with beautifully carved, arched paneling, evoking timeless elegance and character. The distressed finish reveals hints of the underlying wood, creating a rich texture that speaks to the piece’s age and authenticity. Resting on classic bun feet, the enfilade’s proportions are both commanding and balanced, making it a stunning anchor for any room.

Behind the doors, the natural wood interior offers ample storage with fixed shelves across all three compartments, providing practical functionality in addition to its visual appeal.

The contrast between the raw oak inside and the painted exterior adds depth and warmth, reflecting the enduring charm of French country furniture. This enfilade would be equally at home in a refined dining room, rustic kitchen, or modern interior seeking a touch of antique soul.
