A stunning and most impressive French 19th century Louis XVI st. Mahogany, ormolu, brass, and Rosso Levanto marble buffet attributed to Mercier Frères, Paris. The three door three drawer buffet is raised by six bun feet with superb wrap around ormolu acanthus leaf bands. Above each foot are striking richly chased block rosettes flanked by fine inlaid brass fillets. The three doors each display exceptional lattice designed parquetry inlays also framed within brass fillets with remarkable finely detailed berried laurel and pierced scrolled ormolu mounts at the corners and foliate crest shaped keyhole escutcheons. The elegantly curved sides are decorated in the same manner while the three drawers display additional most decorative brass fillets and swaging ormolu pulls with charming rosettes. Above is the original thick Rosso Levanto marble top with a fine mottled border and the spectacular scalloped shaped marble backsplash with foliate ormolu mounts at each side and a spectacular Hercules lion mount at the center all in a rich satin and burnished finish.
