An important two-part buffet in solid walnut, in the Louis XIII style, dating from the 17th century. This beautifully designed piece features a richly molded front composed of four doors with projecting panels and three drawers in the frieze, surmounted by a dentil cornice that lends it a classic elegance and a striking presence.

The entire piece is crafted from solid walnut with a warm patina acquired over the centuries. The uprights are adorned with understated carved decoration, typical of French production of this period, while the doors are embellished with antique hardware and original keyhole escutcheons.

The interior, recently lined with red fabric, offers ample storage space distributed over several levels. This lining, easily reversible if desired, enhances the piece while protecting the shelves.

The buffet is in good condition. The structure is sound and stable, bearing the marks of use, old restorations, and minor irregularities one would expect from a piece of furniture over three centuries old. The reverse, made of antique oak panels, confirms its authenticity.

Height: 180 cm
