Black Forest Antique Carved Oak Monumental Hunt Sideboard or Back Bar #42552

A monumental sideboard or back bar was designed and built for the hunting lodge or summer palace, which was the third largest home of a very wealthy old aristocratic Paris family.

• Spectacular antique Black Forest design furniture
• Commissioned about 1870 and remained at their country estate north of Paris until we brought it to America.
• Signed in various places by "Chas. Loueall, Paris"
• Main panel is a whimsical hand sculpted tableau of a fox stealing a chicken with a stately hen house in perspective in the background
• Hand carved of solid quarter sawn oak with deeply carved three dimensional sculptures of griffins, lions, fruit and vines
• Top surface has been refinished for durability. The rest of the original finish has been waxed and buffed, preserving dings, mars, shrinkage separations, & warping from age. All that is needed to maintain the soft luster is an occasional wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
• Gilt bronze ornate hardware with silver accents and lion heads is original
• Drawers have hand cut dovetail joints
• Doors have working locks and keys, drawer locks do not work, the key is a handle only
• Adjustable wood shelving in upper section
