European Hand Carved Walnut Buffet
This distinctive antique European buffet is superbly crafted in walnut and has aged to a lovely rich patina. The top is situated over a deeply fluted apron fitted with two long drawers and accented with acanthus leaf embellishments. The case is fitted with two stacked center drawers flanked by exquisitely hand-carved cabinets. Each cabinet showcases wonderful deep relief carvings depicting trumpet-blowing putti integrating with long scrolling foliates. One of the cabinets is fitted with a felt-lined flatware drawer above a metal-lined pull-out for chilling bottles. The outermost edges of each door are also beautifully carved with a decorative accent panel of a potted plant in a raised gadrooned urn. All of the drawer and cabinet pulls are artfully designed in cast brass with a rubbed finish. The base is raised on large bun feet.
A fabulous piece that can serve as a buffet, credenza, or simply a beautiful furniture piece with a bounty of storage.
