Antique French Regence Marble Top Sideboard ~ Buffet en Arbalette represents the culmination of centuries of development of furniture craftsmanship for which the French have become world-renowned!  Hand-crafted from solid oak, it features four gracefully scrolled legs adorned with escargot forms supporting the galbe apron, also scrolled and carved with acanthus flourishes.  The sides feature artfully defined panels with fine trim molding, transitioning to the rounded cornerposts which frame the arbalette facade, so named because of its resemblance to the archer's bow.  The serpentine contours of the doors admirably express the form, and are fitted with large cast brass key guards which complement the serpentine drawers above mounted with brass bale pulls.  Carved shell on the tops of the corners leads the eye to the finishing touch~ a luxuriously veined marble top beveled and contoured in the arbalette shape for a timeless effect!
Circa early 1900s
