Important buffet with richly carved two bodies – Henri II Renaissance style

Magnificent and imposing two-body buffet in the Renaissance Henri II style, from the second half of the 19th century, featuring remarkable sculptural work and particularly decorative architecture. This piece stands out for its rich ornamentation, turned columns, deep moldings, and numerous relief sculpted motifs. The upper part showcases an elaborate architectural composition, dominated by a significant curved and open pediment, adorned with leafy scrolls and a sculpted head. At the center, a remarkable high-relief panel depicts a lively scene of characters and horses in a landscape. This composition is framed by curved moldings and fine turned columns. The side doors are decorated with sculpted panels of scrolls and foliage, in the Renaissance style. The lower part opens with three belt drawers and three doors, featuring abundant decoration of vegetal motifs, scrolls, and floral compositions. The whole rests on a molded base finished with ball feet. The two bodies are separated by a wide top, offering a beautiful presentation surface.
