About the Item

Serpentine-front tabletop curio cabinet raised on cabriole legs with carved apron detailing and beaded molding surrounding the shaped top and case. The cabinet features a single glazed door flanked by curved side glass panels, all fitted with beveled glass, providing display from multiple viewing angles. Its compact proportions make it well suited for showcasing small collectibles, watches, jewelry, minerals, or other decorative objects while maintaining a refined furniture form. The serpentine profile, cabriole legs, and carved ornament reflect enduring French Provincial and Louis XV Revival influences popular in American furniture during the first half of the twentieth century. The wood exhibits light age-related wear including scattered scratches, finish wear, and minor handling marks. The cabinet appears to have either never received a final finish or to have been professionally stripped at some point in its history, leaving a natural wood surface while preserving the crisp carved details and overall integrity of the piece. Interior: 25" W x 12.5" D x 13" H

18th C. French Louis XV Pine Buffet-Deux-Corps Vitrine Cabinet from Normandy

18th C. French Louis XV Pine Buffet-Deux-Corps Vitrine Cabinet from Normandy

Located in Dallas, TX

This impressive antique French buffet deux corps was crafted in Normandy circa 1780 and exemplifies the elegant provincial interpretation of the Louis XV style. Built in solid pine, the two-part cabinet combines graceful movement with abundant hand-carved ornamentation, showcasing the craftsmanship and regional character for which Norman furniture is celebrated. The upper vitrine is crowned with a shaped bonnet featuring carved scrolls and a richly detailed central crest decorated with birds, grapes, floral bouquets, and a woven basket motif. Two glazed doors with shaped moldings open to reveal two interior shaped shelves designed for the display of faience, porcelain, glassware, or treasured collections. Delicate carved floral garlands and foliate motifs embellish the façade throughout, while the original brass escutcheons and hardware add authenticity and charm. The upper display section has been fitted with interior lighting controlled by a convenient on/off switch, allowing collections to be beautifully illuminated. The lower cabinet is fitted with two paneled doors framed by deeply molded surrounds and accented with carved floral decoration. Inside, the case offers generous storage and retains an interior pull-out drawer. A distinctive carved star medallion centered on the shaped apron adds a unique decorative element rarely encountered on provincial Norman furniture. The cabinet stands on elegant Louis XV feet and retains wonderful proportions that provide both visual lightness and practical functionality. Throughout, the pine exhibits beautiful grain patterns and a warm honey-colored patina developed over centuries of use. Rich hand-carved details, original character marks, and subtle wear consistent with age contribute to the authenticity and appeal of this important antique Normandy buffet deux corps...
