Antique French Cherrywood Buffet Cabinet, Louis XV Style – circa 1750–1850

French cherrywood buffet cabinet in two sections, dating from approximately 1750–1850. The four panelled doors have curved mouldings, carved rosettes and long decorative metal escutcheons. A shaped lower apron and curved feet complete the base.

The upper cupboard has two lockable doors and two shelves. The lower section has two drawers with metal ring pulls and a two-door cupboard with one shelf.

The cherrywood has a warm brown colour with variations in grain and tone. The cabinet separates into an upper and lower section. The cornice is a separate piece that rests on top of the upper cupboard and is not fixed in place.

Condition

Fully restored and in good antique condition, with a warm finish that brings out the cherrywood grain. Some surface marks, small splits and traces of historic woodworm remain, in keeping with its age. As a precaution, we treat all our antique wooden furniture against woodworm before it leaves our premises.
