Antique Renaissance Revival Buffet is a magnificent expression of the cabinetmaker's art! Hand-carved from solid oak, it features a heavily gadrooned border all around the top carved with acanthus leaf motif. The top surface is perfectly lsized to accommodate a feast or to display decorative accents and family heirlooms. Two large drawers appear directly under the top, flanked by Baroque-inspired carvings, with each drawer exhibiting beautiful molded detail and fitted with cast brass pulls. Underneath the corner carvings appear rounded and carved pilasters, leading the eye down to the base molding which is an expanded version of the trim around the top, fitted with bold mirror-image acanthus plume flourishes serving as the feet. The cabinet door panels are each sculpted with classical scenes in relief, set inside scrolled molding which serves as a framework. One can gaze at this exquisite piece for hours and still discover nuances anew. Drawers and doors open to reveal surprising storage, with attention to detail even on the inside, with inlaid bordering appearing on the shelf edge. Truly an example of quality at the highest level!
If you act fast, the original matching 3-door grand buffet is still available as of this writing. See Related Products below left!
