This antique buffet from France features a slightly overhanging rectangular-shaped top (brown colored faux marble), above a case which houses a pair of recessed panel drawers set horizontally at top, over a pair of decoratively raised panel doors at front. A lovely scored diamond and dot/floral pattern adorns the recessed areas about the front side of the cabinet, and raised-panel sides flank each end. The skirt has straight line molding and the piece is presented upon block feet. The pair of doors open to reveal storage within, and a single shelf at the middle. A beautiful muted blue/green color makes up the primary palette of this chest, with some hints of taupe about the accent trim, and wood showing through in various areas. There is a fabulous old patina throughout, and areas of cracking add to the charm and character of this piece. This versatile early 19th century French storage cabinet would function well within a kitchen for extra work/storage, or perhaps in a living area or bedroom, while adding a subtle hint of color and design to your space. less
