Important two-part buffet in solid walnut, in the Renaissance style, made during the 19th century.

This remarkable piece is distinguished by the richness and quality of its carved decoration. The front is structured by uprights adorned with high-relief foliate motifs, framing panels with geometric diamond-point designs. The whole is punctuated by numerous finely carved mascarons, representing expressive faces, placed at the corners and on the front.

The central frieze opens with two richly decorated drawers, separated by a central carved mask. The upper section is crowned with an overhanging cornice, adorned with a carved frieze of scrolling foliage and a central motif depicting a bird with outstretched wings.

The lower section, resting on ball feet, echoes the same decorative vocabulary with molded panels and carved uprights, giving the whole a beautiful unity and a strong architectural presence.

Exquisite sculpture, characteristic of the 19th-century historicist style inspired by the French Renaissance.
