About the Item

19th Century French Louis XVI Marble Top Display Buffet was hand-crafted by master artisans from indigenous French walnut, luxuriously veined Sienna marble, hand-cast bronze and beveled glass to create a truly special one-of-a-kind look that serves multiple functions! Of course it creates a visual centerpiece for the room, but also provides substantial storage behind the center door and three drawers, with display possibilities on the side cabinets, and of course a carefree and elegant serving and display surface on top, thanks to the beveled marble. But step closer and you'll quickly realize how this piece can stand on its own as a beautiful work of art! Not only are the hand-cast ring pulls and key guards of jewelry quality, the stone is particularly stunning with intricate veining and earth tones intermingled throughout the slab, finished with a cove bevel on the edge. The apron below is tailored, centered with a foliate and scroll design, with rosettes appearing above the tapered and fluted legs. Above the rosettes are fluted pilasters creating a framework for the doors, with more rosettes on top separating the tailored drawer facades. The side doors are fitted with beveled glass to allow you to show off family memorabilia, particularly collectible pieces, or seasonal whims. The center door, though, is truly a work of the sculptor's art! Set on a raised panel framed by fine molding one sees floral garlands with flowing ribbon and a bow on top gracing the top of an oval laurel wreath which in turn creates the framework for a sculpture of a beehive surrounded by gardening implements nestled on a foliate base, all executed in exquisite full relief. Elongated triangular rosettes complete the presentation. Circa 1880s Measures 43.5H x 71W x 21D Available for pickup in the Dallas Design District, Dallas, TX.

19th Century Louis XVI Marble Top Walnut Display Buffet by Kint of Gand
Located in Dallas, TX
19th Century Louis XVI marble top walnut display buffet by Kint of Gand is a stunning piece that will immediately command admiration from all who enter the room in which it is displayed! Hand-crafted by Edouard Kint, a fine furniture maker in the historic city of Ghent (called Gand in French), a city that originally started as a settlement at the confluence of the Rivers Scheldt and Leie and in the Late Middle Ages became one of the largest and richest cities of northern Europe, with some 50,000 people in 1300. It prospered primarily because of the rich, fertile soils surrounding the area. Evidence of habitation during the Stone Age has been found, and by the late 19th century it was a thriving European center with historical significance, producing such masterworks as this splendid buffet. Although it is almost six feet in width and over two feet in depth, its rounded sides soften the impact of its footprint on your floor plan, while simultaneously providing copious display, storage, and serving space in abundance! Crafted from hand-select walnut, it has been lavishly carved with intertwined foliates across the main facade in a step-front configuration, with rounded cornerposts carved with rosettes, egg form and laurel garlands atop reeded and fluted motifs providing a framework for the lush, artistic neoclassical carvings on the parquet-paneled doors. Urns in full relief are depicted amongst flowing ribbon, floral garlands and intertwined vines. Bronze key guards add a nice accent. On each side, recessed behind the aforementioned rounded cornerposts, are the display cabinets in a full quarter-round form, with fluting across the drawer that, with the bronze bale pull, pivots out on a single rear hinge. The rounded cabinet door below is fitted with a single curved pane of beveled glass, with quarter round shelving...
