This exquisite late 19th-century French-style carved oak dessert buffet showcases the beauty of intricate craftsmanship and the timeless appeal of the Gothic Revival style. The buffet is adorned with detailed carvings of the Green Man—a symbol of nature, fertility, and renewal—on both the drawer fronts and the upper panel. The rich carvings of foliage and organic motifs frame the Green Man, adding to the artistry and depth of the piece. The scrolled and acanthus leaf details are also masterfully executed, enhancing the buffet’s ornamental elegance.
Functionality is paired with artistry in the design of the buffet, which features two well-crafted drawers for storage and open shelving to display your prized items. The turned, spiraled legs give the piece both support and a sense of movement. At some point, the middle shelf was replaced with a piece of oak that closely matches the original wood, ensuring the piece remains structurally sound while maintaining its overall aesthetic.
The overall condition is consistent with age and normal use, with light surface wear, minor scuffs, a chip taken off the left drawer pull and some aging to the finish, all of which contribute to its antique charm. The beautiful patina on the wood adds a sense of warmth and history, making this buffet not only a functional piece of furniture but also a striking focal point for any room. 49h x 48w x 18d counter height 42
