About the Item

Antique Rustic French Buffet that was rebuilt structurally and left cosmetically original. Based on the construction techniques and saw marks we are reasonably confident that this Antique French Buffet dates from the mid-1700's. Generally we do not always take pictures of the outside back, however in this case the crude saw marks helps to confirm the age of the Antique French fruitwood Buffet. We debated about removing the old French Fabric Lining, but after a short period of time the fabric began to grow on us and thought it best to leave the decision to the next owner. **Please note old repairs on the sides best shown in images 3, 5 and 16.

Antique French Deux Corp 'Cupboard' in Original Finish from Chateau Unrestored
Located in Chicago, IL
This extremely rare, Antique French Cupboard, is from the Château de Loyat in Brittany, which I believe dates back to the 1500, was in a condition, that Antique dealers can only dream of. The French Cupboard or Cabinet, is exactly what you would expect, a 300-year-old antique French Cabinet to look like, if no one ever touched the finish, let alone restore the Antique Cupboard. Our opinion is, that this Antique French Cupboard or Cabinet, could have been made in the late 1600s or early 1700s and if I did not know that this Cupboard was made from French White Oak, one would have thought it was constructed of iron, based on its weight. Our centuries old French Cupboard, was constructed without the use of any nails or glue, for the entire Antique Cabinet was assembled using wooden pegs. Our Old Plank restoration department, has just completed a 240-hour conservation procedure, wherein lieu of just replacing the old worn wood oak boards, we chose to harden them and only used small fillets of antique French Oak for repair. Yes, this became a labor of love, but for us, to find an antique French Cabinet, in this virgin untouched state, is quite rare nowadays, so, the choice was made to conserve, rather than restore, which required triple the labor. Our Antique French Deux Corps...
