Description
*See measurements below This style of furniture is known as a buffet deux corps, which translates to 'two-bodied buffet,' referring to its two distinct sections: the upper display cabinet and the lower storage area. These pieces were status symbols, prominently displayed in the dining rooms of affluent households. The intricate carvings and choice of fruitwood reflect the owner's refined taste and wealth. Buffets deux corps were not only functional but also served as showcases for family heirlooms and fine china. The design often incorporated regional motifs and craftsmanship techniques, making each piece a unique representation of its origin. Today, these buffets are highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and decorative appeal.
