About the Item

A superb 17th-century Louis XIV period buffet à deux corps expertly handcrafted in walnut by skilled ébénistes near Lyon, circa 1680s. Having a captivating patinated bluish-gray painted finish, revealing hints of the rich wood beneath, this large buffet deux corps emanates a sense of rustic elegance. The elegance meets functionality in the upper body of the antique cabinet, where a flat multi-tiered molded cornice crowns a simply carved frieze. The stately pair of carved, recessed panel doors below open to reveal a spacious interior, complete with two shelves and a discreet drawer, offering ample storage for cherished china, glassware, and serving pieces. The deeper lower buffet features raised and recessed square panel doors that conceal a single interior shelf, providing additional room for storing larger items. The short carved legs lend support to the piece, while the carved, scalloped apron adds a touch of French Country charm. The original iron hardware adds to the authenticity and historical significance of this exceptional cabinet, making it a desirable piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. An extraordinary piece that will elevate any interior with its timeless beauty and versatility.
