Description

This antique two-body buffet made of solid wood stands out with its carved decoration of grape clusters and foliage, its curved lines, and its marble top. The central mirror adds depth to the whole piece, while the sculpted details and antique fittings attest to meticulous craftsmanship. Its style, a blend of Art Nouveau and rustic inspiration, allows it to fit seamlessly into both a country interior and a more eclectic decoration, paired with wooden chairs or vintage tableware. The upper part consists of three doors, one of which is glass-paneled, opening to a storage space with shelves. The lower part includes two drawers and two doors granting access to additional shelves. A few details to note: the interior shelves are covered with removable yellow vinyl paper to reveal the original wood. The piece has five locked doors but comes with only three keys. There are also minor signs of wear on the front of the lower doors as well as a small chip on one corner of the marble [see photos]. Length: 140 cm Width: 48 cm Height: 197 cm Drawer height: 8.5 cm Shelf heights: 24.5 cm [upper part], 31 cm [lower part]. A brief history of the dresser: Evolving directly from the family buffet, the dresser was born in the 18th century to showcase the wealth of the home through its finest pieces of earthenware. Its structure is characterized by an upper part that is open or glass-paneled, formerly featuring "crenellations," those specific notches designed to hold plates vertically and protect them from shocks. Whether called "dresser" or "two-body buffet," it is designed to add verticality and character to a living space.
