An handsome French late 19th century Mahogany buffet/vitrine. The buffet with its original hutch is raised by four tapered topie shaped legs below the mottled frieze with curved ends. Each of the four doors, with ormolu keyhole escutcheons, are decorated with richly carved garlands of buds tied together at the center with a bow. Fluted columns with carved chandelles and top rosettes flank each door and the four drawers have ormolu 'C' scrolled handles and are separated by rosette blocks. The Rosé vif des Pyrenées marble top is below the hutch raised by two fluted columns with square plinths and ‘S’ scrolled capitals. The scalloped back plate retains the original beveled mirrored plates with two central beveled glass paned doors above, separated by a vertical carved crossbar decorated by a bow supporting tied floral branches. At both sides are curved doors with the original hand blown beveled glass, all with ormolu keyholes escutcheons, and an interior adjustable glass shelf. The richly carved central top crown is adorned by a sensational reserve of roses. All original patina throughout. — Read Less
