About the Item

A French Napoleon III buffet, with its original marble top, from the early 19th century. This antique console from France, circa 1820's, features its original marble top over a case which houses a single drawer at top, over a pair of doors (with right door fitted with a single wreath shaped brass escutcheon), and flanked within column form front side posts with decorative brass capitals. The doors open to reveal a single shelf within and plentiful storage. The skirt is clean and linear, with sides having a recessed panel design each. The cabinet is raised on thickly rounded front legs in front, with board legs at rear. The warm wood grain and patina are exquisite. This French Napolean III buffet console is a nice versatile size at just over four feet in length, offering great storage and display opportunities without taking up too much floor space; it would make a great server in a smaller dining area, or work beautifully in a foyer, office, or living room.
