This is a French Buffet Deux Corps with strong English Hepplewhite influences

Decorative 18th Century French Oak Buffet Deux Corps, of Small Proportions

This is French with strong English Hepplewhite influences.

Over the years I’ve sold many, usually slight or profusely carved.

This example has elegant modern like lines, beautifully worn and patinated. All original brass-work.

The standout piece in a modern apartment living room, entrance or hallway. Stunning lines indeed.

As I said usually carved, also usually much larger proportions.
