A French cabinet with faux marble painted top from the early 19th century. This antique buffet from France features a slightly overhanging rectangular-shaped top (brown colored faux marble), above a case which houses a pair of recessed panel drawers set horizontally at top, over a pair of decoratively raised panel doors at front. A lovely scored diamond and dot/floral pattern adorns the recessed areas about the front side of the cabinet, and raised-panel sides flank each end. The skirt has straight lined molding and the piece is presented upon block feet. The pair of doors open to reveal storage within, and a single shelf at the middle. A beautiful muted blue/green coloring makes up the primary palette of this chest, with some hints of taupe about the accent trim, and wood showing in various areas.

Beautiful 19th century painted Napoleon III chinois buffet.

A magnificent rectangular black 2-door cabinet in Napoleon III style. Large and small details are gilt, bringing antique and luxurious looks. Brass medallions are centrally mounted on each door and also adorn the upper facade of the cabinet. The inside of the cabinet is divided into three horizontal shelves. At the bottom of the cabinet, there is a figure of a woman's mask, decorated with floral motifs, notably acanthus leaves and it is completed on the side with a rich ornamentation of gilded bronzes caryatides. The borders running along the cabinet are all gilt and engraved with beautiful patterns. On the two cabinet doors, there are two big figures encased in an oval border, representing Apollo, the god of music, and Hermes, the messenger of the gods.

When Hermes was just a toddler, he once left his cradle to steal the cattle of his half-brother Apollo. Apollo soon discovered that his flock was missing and began to search the surrounding area. Of course, Apollo was the god of prophecy, so he soon found out about the thief and furiously went to Mount Cyllene to find Hermes in his cave. He grabbed the infant and took him to Mount Olympus, to be judged by their master Zeus, the king of the gods. In front of Zeus, Hermes initially denied everything, but in the end, he had to confess. Zeus found the story quite amusing, so he did not punish Hermes, but only required him to return the flock. Hermes regretted what he had done and offered Apollo his lyre as a gift. The lyre was a musical instrument that Hermes had created all by himself from the shell of a turtle. To repay Hermes for his kindness, Apollo returned the gesture by giving Hermes a golden staff...
