Golden Oak Buffet Deux Corps Vitrine
A beautiful late 19th century antique buffet deux corps (“two bodied buffet”) vitrine with a graceful arched crown and subtle hand-carved details resting upon elegant cabriole legs. The buffet deux corps, with a shallow upper cabinet atop a two-door buffet, was a favored type of furniture throughout France and Belgium, which allowed for ample storage of fine heirlooms and kitchen goods.
The upper vitrine doors feature a unique slightly green-tinged wavy glass and open to reveal three whimsically scalloped front shelves, which compliment the detailing along the buffet’s skirt. Two doors in the cabinet below enclose a single shelf.
We’re smitten with its modern bleached finish, and effortless French provincial charm, and think it will add loads of character to your home’s decor.
Found in Belgium, circa 1880
Original finish has been stripped to reveal the natural wood tone, as found; faint remnants of pale blue paint remain inside the vitrine
Handcrafted from solid oak and constructed using mortise and tenon and pegged joinery
Original bronze hardware
Two pieces for ease of transport
Light scratches and stains consistent with age and use
Overall dimensions approximately 56 1/2” W x 21” D x 83 3/4” H
Available for pick up, local delivery, and nationwide shipping.
