French 18th Century Louis XV Walnut Buffet a Deux Corps

This magnificent Louis XV buffet a deux corps is draped in delicate carvings. The French antique period piece dates back to the 18th century and plays host to floriate carvings, bronze hardware, and pierced escutcheon on each of the four doors. This beautiful piece, made for a dining room, rests on cabriole legs with scroll feet and carved contour apron. The crown is formed in a Chapeau de Gendarme, a shape that mirrors the military hats from the period. The craftsmanship is phenomenal, as is the material itself. It’s a piece that exudes history and beauty in the most subtle of ways.
