This contemporary bookcase, or display buffet, is crafted from solid oak in a Louis XIII style. Functional and elegant, the piece features a rectilinear, elongated design made from sturdy materials.
The lower section of the furniture opens with two doors, revealing a spacious interior for storing items of various sizes.
The upper section also has two doors and contains three height-adjustable shelves mounted on racks. The doors are glazed with beveled glass, which is original to the piece.
Three out of the four doors lock with keys, and the locks are in perfect working order.
A hallmark of the Louis XIII style, the uprights are adorned with twisted columns. The exquisite moldings throughout the piece add elegance, sophistication, and dynamism to the furniture.
This buffet comes from a renowned restaurant in the Loire Valley. The restaurateur used it for its ample storage and display capabilities, showcasing silverware, earthenware, and glassware.
The interior of the furniture has been cleaned to ensure stored items are kept in a very hygienic and odor-free environment.
This is a characterful piece of furniture, distinguished by the quality of its wood, its moldings, and its impressive height, which gives it an exceptional aura and reflects the social status of its owner.
