Small Two-body Buffet In Solid Walnut, Renaissance Style – Mid-19th Century

This small sideboard with a narrow body opens, in the lower part, with two doors with miter-cut knockout frames. Each independent panel is sculpted in relief with antique decorations depicting Zeus and his wife Hera who is also his sister, in other times, other customs. These doors are mounted on iron hinges and are fitted with an original lock with key and scrolled entrances. The center is decorated with an antique black marble slab highlighted with a double border of lemon tree and dark wood. The interior offers an adjustable shelf on racks. The uprights have two double columns. Above, the large drawer, decorated with a winged cherub's head, has iron pull handles. The whole rests on an overhanging base ending in ball feet. The upper part of this recessed piece of furniture, called diminutive, uses the same work as the lower part. It includes two doors which are also sculpted. The upper part features an antique scene representing a nymph. The pediment features the divinity Apollo within an altar. Richly decorated, this buffet will appeal for its size and decorative style. ******** Period: Mid-19th Century Excellent condition. Waxed finish.
