This late 18th-century French Louis XV buffet à deux corps is a remarkable piece, exemplifying the period's penchant for whimsy and detailed craftsmanship. The buffet is composed of two sections: an upper cabinet and a lower sideboard, both intricately decorated.
Key Features:
- **Material:** The piece appears to be made of painted wood, with a soft, muted finish typical of the era.
- **Design:** It features four doors—two in the upper cabinet and two in the lower section—each adorned with whimsical animal depictions. The decorative panels showcase animals in anthropomorphic attire, engaging in various activities, which adds a playful and unique character to the buffet.
- **Ornamentation:** The door panels are bordered with ornate, Rococo-style motifs, including scrollwork and floral elements. The hinges and keyholes are accented with decorative metalwork, enhancing the overall elegance.
- **Condition:** The painted surfaces exhibit a patina and some wear consistent with age, which contributes to the antique charm of the piece. The structure appears to be well-preserved, maintaining its integrity and functionality.
Historical Context:
- **Era:** Late 18th century, reflecting the transition from the Rococo style of Louis XV to the more restrained neoclassical style of Louis XVI.
- **Style Influence:** Louis XV furniture is known for its curves, elaborate decorations, and light-hearted themes, often incorporating fantastical and pastoral elements.
This buffet à deux corps is a fine example of late 18th-century French craftsmanship, merging practical storage with whimsical artistry. The anthropomorphic animal scenes on the doors are particularly distinctive, making this piece a conversation starter and a charming addition to any collection of antique furniture.
