Welcome / Buffet with a mirror in solid walnut. Late 19th century, beautiful piece.

Superb work on this 19th-century solid walnut buffet. Known as Faubourg work, as it is a piece in the Louis XVI style, made in a traditional manner. The wood is splendid, and the craftsmanship is top-notch. On top, resting on the thick pink marble and screwed to the back, a beveled mirror in a semicircle is surrounded by a walnut frame with a hand-carved floral pediment. Two spots that have been chipped form small, somewhat dreamlike mosaics that, far from diminishing the charm of this original mirror, highlight its beauty and depth. The marble is magnificent, very thick, very dense - in pinkish tones, rounded at the corners and with a small molding around the edge. It is in impeccable condition. The lower part opens with two drawers with walnut fronts adorned with two pull handles, both in gilded bronze. Above, the two doors open to an original oak veneer shelf. The two locks, two keys, and two gilded lock entries are original and work wonderfully. Notable are the numerous floral patterns carved into the wood, creating very interesting contrast areas with the walnut. There is also a beautiful lower plinth with an intense patina, and the two front turned feet. The patina is original, and aside from minimal signs of use, the piece is solid, healthy, stable, and in excellent condition. It comes from the same house at 77, which was furnished with late 19th-century furniture (including the mirror wardrobe and the curved dressers). A superb piece whose vintage character will spice up any modern decor. L: 129 cm. H: 164 cm. D: 48 cm. Mirror: 125 X 56 cm. Lower part: 105 cm in height. The price is firm, thank you. Delivery in IDF and ground floor possible for 40 euros.
