The provincial "Confiturier" (or jelly cabinet in English), stands on a straight bottom plinth decorated with a carved shell motif over the scalloped apron. The tall buffet features a carved drawer dressed with a iron knob over a single door with carved raised panel, and embellished with a shell decor at the top and bottom. The inside reveals a middle shelf for ultimate storage. Each side including the back is hand carved and finished, so the cabinet could stand alone in the middle of a room. The Regence style buffet is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns a light bleached patinated finish with wonderful character and distress. This sturdy cabinet would make a wonderful storage unit in a powder room to store towels, soap, or could be used in an entry as a pedestal to hold a vase or a bust. Key included.
