A two-part Louis XVI style oak buffet with an English porcelain plaque, circa 1900
An elegant two-part Louis XVI style buffet made of solid oak, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century.
The lower section opens at the front with two wide, molded doors surmounted by two drawers in the frieze, fitted with bronze ring handles. In the center, a decorative upright is adorned with a delicate English porcelain plaque depicting a female profile in the style of Wedgwood medallions, held in place by a gilt bronze ribbon bow.
The top is covered with its original marble slab in brown, veined tones. The recessed upper section features a glass-fronted display cabinet with two glass doors revealing glass shelves. Between the two sections, a large mercury mirror adds depth and light to the whole while highlighting the displayed objects.
The overall design, inspired by the Louis XVI style, is distinguished by its clean, balanced lines, fluted uprights, discreet bronze mounts, and central pediment adorned with a second decorative porcelain plaque.
This beautifully crafted piece combines classic elegance with functionality, making it ideal for a dining room, living room, or library.
