At over 10 feet tall, this monumental French buffet deux corps bibliotheque would make a wonderful statement piece. Hand-carved in the 1700s, the towering case storage has a hand-scraped painted finish with hues of green, gray, and blue. The upper section has four elaborately shaped shelves that are visible through two tall doors that are lined with grillage. A single, linear shelf graces the interior of the lower section, behind two rectangular doors. Both interiors have been painted off-white, matching each of the shelves. There is a small pull-out drawer on both sides of the lower section, just beneath the robust quarter-round molding. With ample storage space, our hand-scraped and painted buffet deux corps can be used in a variety of household rooms, from a dining area to the living room.

CONDITION: Strong antique condition with commensurate wear, such as rubs from the upper doors and paint losses. Minor age separations and losses. The top of the lower body has an old restoration, which has been strengthened more recently by a professional woodworker.
