A handsome and sizable solid oak buffet a deux corps (in two sections) with Provincial charm from 19th century France. This four door case antique is split into two bodies: a deeper lower body and a more narrow but tall upper body. The upper cabinet is crowned with a molded cornice above imaginative carvings in the frieze depicting swags and hanging tassels, more in the Louis XVI taste. The upper doors are delightfully paneled and conceal a spacious interior with two removable shelves, approximately 13" deep. The lower paneled doors open to reveal a space with a single removable shelf, approximately 18" deep. Both sets of doors contain functioning locks and feature scrolling iron escutcheon plates. Two keys are included. All doors are supported by steel barrel hinges. A serpentine apron ties back to all the curvaceous patterns from above for cohesive expression all around. Make sure to scroll through the detailed images for a closer look at the great patina and character of this one of a kind storage piece. See less
