Buffet two bodies 19th century

Two-body buffet in Provençal style. Arched "gendarme hat" top: The characteristic wavy curve of the top is a classic element of French design, inspired by the shape of an 18th-century gendarme's hat. Scalloped panels: The ornamental and fluid curves of the door panels and the lower rail are typical of the Louis XV style (rococo), which favours soft lines over sharp angles. Cabriole legs: Note the short, slightly curved legs. This "S" curve is characteristic of Provençal craftsmanship. Hardware: The long decorative brass or iron hinges and ornate escutcheons are typical of the style from this region.
