Although the woodworkers … more During the 18th century, woodworking studios in Nimes, France, began to garner recognition for their hand-carved furniture. Although the woodworkers would adhere to the style dictated by the period, these talented ebenistes would incorporate regional flairs, such as curvaceous door panels and elaborate, pierced aprons that almost touch the floor, both seen here on this period Louis XV buffet à deux corps. Hand-carved in walnut, circa 1750, this beautiful two-bodied cabinet is a well-preserved example of Nimoise craftsmanship.

The wood has a vibrant sheen as the result of a technique known as cire rempli, which gives the deux corps a lovely brown patina that accentuates the rich carvings. A deep cavetto cornice beneath quarter-round molding gives the crown added prominence. Beneath the undercut is a scalloped shell, flanked by two asymmetrical embellishments. Two rectangular doors, each with three irregularly shaped panels bordered by thick molding, comprise the upper body, opening on large iron hinges to two full-length shelves. Similarly, the lower body doors open on small iron hinges to reveal a single full-length shelf. The doors are shaped, with slightly arching tops and an interior upper canted corner that frames the elongated scrolls carved above. Beneath the doors is a sinuous apron between a pair of scrolled legs with pad feet. The center of the arbalete apron is pierced with a foliate cartouche.

Our stunning Nimoise deux corps is sure to be a focal point of any room. Originally intended to be used for storing linens and serving pieces in a dining room, the deux corps would also make a fascinating stand-alone pantry in a kitchen. less
