This exceptional example of the master wood sculptor's art is difficult to call furniture when it exhibits such sublime form exquisite craftsmanship! Created from select French walnut, it bears a host of timeless ornamentation most notably rendered in bas relief, but punctuated by the lifelike gryffins fully apart from the casework yet an intregal part of its support. Combining display with storage, this is truly a conversation piece that engenders new appreciation each time it's examined. Tapered and fluted columns provide a framework for the elaborately carved door panels, and cast bronze pulls and keyguards add a nice touch, but the overall mastery of sculpture evident in this example from the crown to the base will make it an instant family keepsake for generations to come!
Circa 1870s.
Measures 84 x 63 x 23.5; buffet surface 40
