The doors feature deeply carved raised panels with graceful, asymmetrical curves typical of the Louis XV period, framed by a subtly scalloped apron with carved scroll and foliate detail.

The top retains its original boards, showing the natural undulation and wear consistent with age, while the surface glows with a soft satin finish that highlights the richness of the grain. Cabriole legs terminate in hand-carved scroll feet, and the piece is fitted with its original iron hardware and a charming later tassel pull.

This buffet embodies the understated sophistication of rural French craftsmanship — both refined and functional — ideal for use as a sideboard, entry console, or dining room storage. Its scale and quiet character make it versatile for both traditional and modern interiors. See less
