About the Item

More information coming soon… Dating to circa 1780, this beautiful buffet deux corps possesses elements of both Louis XV and Louis XVI, making it a transitional piece between the two periods in French history. Hand-carved in walnut, the two bodied buffet has highly sinuous and asymmetrical carvings (a la Louis XV), paired with linear elements, such as the chandelle pilasters, which were Neoclassical inspirations seen during the reign of Louis XVI.
