19th Century French Louis XV China Buffet ~ Cupboard makes the perfect choice for storage, serving and display, all in one!  The majestic triple-arched crown extends to just over eight feet tall, and is adorned in the middle with a Rococo-inspired cresting wave, shell and wildflower centerpiece.  The finely molded shoulders undulate down to the rounded cornerposts accented with foliates and flanking the triple glazed upper display with carved overlay on the glass, brass key guards and adjustable shelves within.  The upper tier is separated from the lower buffet by a serving area framed with scrolled trim, and backed by a contoured and beveled mirror to amplify ambient light onto the parquet serving surface.  Below are two flatware drawer and three cabinets, all lavished with the sculptor's hand in complementary Rococo motifs, then fitted with cast brass pulls and key guards.  Scrolled legs and apron complete the look.
Circa 1890s
