AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Imposant, richly carved Prunk cabinet (buffet à deux corps) in walnut in the Neo-Renaissance / Henri II style, France, ca. 1880.
Top: Six rounded niches between fluted columns. In the four central niches fully carved reliefs of mounted knights and Landsknechts (fanfare players, standard-bearers, armored riders with spear and shield). Frieze with decorative wreath and cords.
Base: Six doors with round-arched panels, each with a different carved Portrait Medallion (men’s and women’s heads in Renaissance attire), below grotesque ornamentation with fantastic beasts, vases and mascarons. One panel with cartouche “1560”. Turned half-columns, strong egg-and-dart frieze. Four drawers with ring pulls, lined with red velvet on the inside. Open pedestal area on carved columns with vase plinths, orb feet.
Two-piece, top section is detachable. Walnut, partly solid, partly veneered. Keys present.
Provenance: acquired ca. 1982 at the Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen in Paris, since in private ownership.
Condition: Good, age-appropriate condition with attractive patina. The carvings are fully preserved. Signs of use on the top surface of the base: scratches, small lacquer losses on the front edge, a hairline crack in the edge molding, and a small gap in the panel. The lock of one of the central doors is defective. No restorations or alterations known. The photos are part of the description.
Dimensions: approx. 220 cm (W) × 240 cm (H) × 60 cm (D)
