Direct from Paris, this late 18th century French oak Buffet a Deux Corps provides both storage and display for your home. It would be at perfect in a kitchen, breakfast room, entryway, family room, living room as a bar... Possibilities are endless.
This cupboard comes in three pieces - the lower base with solid wood doors, the upper cabinet featuring original chicken wire inserts and the bonnet which makes it simpler to move. Original hardware and a working lock on the lower half add to the charm.
The upper cabinet is covered in a vintage Schumacher fabric - red and white toile.
“The buffet was one of the most favored types of furniture for French homes, especially the buffet a deux corps, which allowed for ample storage of fine heirlooms and kitchen goods. The name, buffet deux (two in French) corps is literally translated to “buffet with two bodies”, which provided an ingenious type of storage and display case. Since it could easily be split apart it was very easy to transport or travel with and deliver into homes through typical narrow doorways of past centuries.” (From the DefiningFrance.com)
The upper cabinet, lowest shelf, has a small hole drilled through the fabric and wood in each corner to allow for a electrical cord to pass through in the event you want to add a lamp to your display.
Note the gorgeous geometric wood inlay along the top of the upper cabinet. Stunning craftmanship. less
