Painted Antique Boiserie with Fireplace from Provence, France

You are looking at a French paneled room (boiserie) section. It is whitewashed, in the Louis XVI style, and includes a fireplace, 6 pairs of doors, and one door with a narrow panel attached. It is from Provence, France in the early 1800's or possibly older. Some of the shelving however, has been added recently. It is in GOOD antique condition due to some chipping to the wood and paint. Since it has arrived in the States, a crack has formed in the panel above the mantel. We can repair this upon request.

Wooden paneled rooms replaced marble paneled rooms at the beginning of the Louis XVI period. They were either left in their natural state, stained and waxed, or painted. Elaborate to very simple decorations were used, and moldings were copied from previous periods or from the current period.
