French Buffet Deux Corps - 18th Century, with Original Scraped Patina

About the Item

This buffet deux corps boasts a scraped finish that gives it a unique textured appearance, enhancing its antique charm and character. The scraping process reveals the natural grain of the wood while adding a weathered patina that speaks to its age and history. The buffet is structured in two parts: the upper cabinet, or “corps,” typically features glazed doors with glass panels, ideal for displaying fine china or decorative items. The lower cabinet offers practical storage with drawers and cupboards, all fitted with brass or iron hardware that complements the piece’s rustic aesthetic. Intricate carvings and moldings adorn the buffet’s facade, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of 19th-century furniture. Floral motifs, scalloped edges, and scrollwork add decorative flair while maintaining the buffet’s functional integrity. During the 19th century, European furniture design evolved with influences ranging from Neoclassicism to Revival styles, each reflecting cultural and artistic movements of the time. Buffet deux corps, or two-part buffets, were popular among affluent households for their dual functionality as display cabinets and storage solutions. Perfect for dining rooms, living areas, or as statement pieces in entryways, this Buffet Deux Corps with a scraped finish adds a touch of historical charm and practical elegance to any interior. Its versatile design complements both traditional and eclectic decor styles, making it a versatile addition to modern homes.
