Antique Liegoise Louis XIV Step-Front Whitewashed Buffet is a marvel of the cabinetmaker's art!  Sculpted from old-growth white oak, it features an intriguing step-front center cabinet and finely finished sides that create visual appeal from all angles.  The four leg structures across the front are set at 45 degree angles, and feature elaborate molded detail as well as stylized shell and foliate carvings towards the top.  Each of the tree cabinet doors are festooned with matching bas relief carvings of the same shell, floral and foliate themes, executed again on the boldly scrolled aprons below with added cross-hatching.  The finish is a soft, appealing multi-hued whitewash that emphasizes the carved detail yet creates a minimal visual impact on the overall room's decor.
Circa early to mid-1900s
