Beauty and function meet with this gorgeous 19th Century Louis XVI Dessert Buffet. The ample serving surface overlooks the pair of drawers fitted with cast brass bale pulls, separated by a boldly carved horizontal rectangular rosette, and flanked on each corner by vertically oriented rosettes.  Carved laurel swags in full relief appear on each of the cabinet doors below the drawers, framed like a painting and fitted with brass key guards.  Intertwined foliates in bas relief adorn the panel between the doors, which open to a shelved interior.  Below the cabinet appears a full width shelf flanked by gracefully turned and fluted urn style pediments, providing plenty of storage and display options.  Made from sturdy French old-growth oak to last for generations!
Circa 1890s
