Perfect for a Hunting Style or Rustic décor dining room, kitchen, game room, or gentleman's office, this splendid antique French Renaissance buffet dates to 1880 and boasts superb carvings throughout.

Crafted in solid oak wood, this buffet deux corps is a superb example of the traditional Hunting style — a legacy of King Francis I of France, who decorated his royal hunting lodges with furniture evoking the rural world. Standing over eight feet high, it would instantly become a statement piece in any interior.

The style grew popular as the French middle class rose in wealth and power. People desired furniture that displayed their new status, and a piece such as this would have made a powerful statement. Note the distinctly rich carvings, thoughtful details, and deep patina that define an authentic French "Hunt" piece of this caliber.
