About the Item
A superb 17th-century Louis XIV period buffet à deux corps expertly handcrafted in walnut by skilled ébénistes near Lyon, circa 1680s.

The deeper lower buffet features raised and recessed square panel doors that conceal a single interior shelf, providing additional room for storing larger items. The short carved legs lend support to the piece, while the carved, scalloped apron adds a touch of French Country charm. The original iron hardware adds to the authenticity and historical significance of this exceptional cabinet, making it a desirable piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. An extraordinary piece that will elevate any interior with its timeless beauty and versatility.
