Its finely veined marble top crowns a richly carved case, while the warm walnut has developed a deep, mellow patina that enhances every sculpted detail.
At the center, a beveled glass door opens to a mirrored interior with a glass shelf, designed to reflect and showcase treasured porcelain, crystal, silver, or a favorite collection. Delicate shell, floral, and scrolling foliate carvings flow across the façade, continuing down the slender cabriole legs and creating the refined movement associated with the Louis XV taste.
Elegant in a dining room, salon, or entrance hall, this antique buffet offers the rare combination of practical function and decorative beauty. Its mirrored display becomes a luminous focal point, while the marble top provides a beautiful surface for flowers, lamps, or serving.
