Buffets, Louis XV, XVIII

In molded walnut, intended for serving game, it opens with two large leaves sinuously carved with asymmetrical patterns and separated by a false frame. The reserves are sculpted with branches and natural decorations. The imposing steel sheets in a single part allow the doors to be opened, revealing two drawers receiving the knives for cutting.

The uprights are finely carved with vine branches and foliage scrolls.

The side panels with double motifs of stylized chapels.

The sideboard rests on arched legs connected by a moving crosspiece.

At the top, the shell marble top called Saint Cyr stone comes from a quarry near Lyon. Its color and its shell inclusions are characteristic of this stone used for the most beautiful models of Lyonnais hunting buffets from the 18th century. This throat and cavet stone has a thickness of 5 cm.
