This magnificent Louis XV satinwood cabinet is trimmed with dark wood and mounted with bronze. The french antique piece dates back to the 19th century and features two grilled doors alongside two solid doors fashioned from Coromandel panels. It was fashionable in the 19th century to use coromandel panels as doors, and to work these designs into the construction of French furniture. Final details can be found in the bronze escutcheon on each door and the cabriole legs with bronze mounts upon which the cabinet stands.

French 18th Century Walnut Buffet de Chasse
Item Number: 6485
A truly exquisite piece, this 18th century buffet de chasse features many eye-catching decorations, alongside a history guaranteed to impress. Elaborate scrolls along the doors show off wood carving characteristic of the Normandy region, while complementary "dotted x" woodworkings showcase that this piece was carved during a Regency period between French kings Louis XIV and Louis XV. Buffets de chasse were typically used as an elaborate display table to show off prizes from successful hunts, and that grandeur would continue to shine through this piece in any entryway. Along with the ornately carved wood elements, this piece is topped with a large, striking slab of gray marble. The original locking mechanism is in place, and impressive.
