Antique buffet in solid cherry wood – Louis XV style – presumed 18th century
Antique regional buffet in solid wood, probably cherry, in Louis XV style, possibly dating from the late 18th century. Acquired from an antique dealer in the 1980s, this piece was presented as an authentic item from the late 18th century. It has retained its beautiful old patina, already present at the time of acquisition. Its traditional craftsmanship features several remarkable characteristics: structure and side panels in solid wood; top made of two wide solid wood boards; two doors with molded and carved panels; two drawers joined with dovetails at the front and back; traditional-looking old hardware; curved legs and a scalloped lower rail; beautiful warm hue and old patina. This buffet reflects traditional cabinetmaking and possesses the authentic charm of French regional furniture. It will naturally find its place in a country house, a classic interior, or a contemporary decor combining old and modern furniture.
