AN IMPOSING LATE 19th CENTURY FRENCH HENRI II STYLE OAK BUFFET / DRESSER

Description

Please not that on the photo's there is a shadow of an overhead line and not a mark on the buffet.
Dating to the end of the 19th century, this stunning 3 piece French oak Buffet is in very good all round condition. It stands on short turned feet with an attractive moulded apron.
To the inside of the base section there is a single shelf which is enclosed with 2 moulded panel doors complete with original escutcheons and working lock. The flanking turned and fluted columns rise up to support the gadrooned moulded frieze drawers which are constructed with hand cut dovetail joints, and they benefit from having their original handles.
?The middle section has a galleried plate rack to the back and 2 turned balusters to the front which supports the top section. This section has 2 shelves to the inside which are both adjustable up and down. This is enclosed with moulded panel doors with original escutcheons and working lock. To each side there is a pair of turned and fluted columns which compliment the base section.
The top frieze has a moulded and carved panel with traditional ogee cornice.
This is a lovely piece of French furniture and would compliment the dining room of any home traditional or modern.
