About the Item

Showcasing a beautiful French 18th century walnut buffet with two drawers and two doors. The country buffet features white and black ebony inlay of the star of Normandy between the two drawers and a floral arrangement in an urn at the base. The piece sports fine hand chased hinges and beautiful escutcheons. The hand carved curves of the walnut doors are delightful and balanced, accompanying the hand embellished ebony details quite well. The buffet dates back to the 1700s and is set to bring a beautiful sense of French style and Normandy history to any interior design. This piece is a collection of a fourth generation, family owned business in New Orleans called The French Antique Shop. The store was first opened by Marie and Marcel Granet in Paris when they married in 1927. A jewish family, they came to the United States before the outbreak of the Second World War, leaving on the last boat out of Paris' port, Le Havre. When they reached New Orleans, they fell in love with the Vieux Carre as it reminded them of home. Their first shop here in New Orleans was located on Chartres Street in the French Quarter and was stocked originally with pieces they had brought with them from Paris. They moved to Royal Street and settled in their present expanded location at 225 Royal Street in 1947. Today, the shop is run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, and his two sons Michael and Brian.
