Antique 19th-century French buffet (buffet à deux corps)

https://www.craigslist.org/view/d/astoria-antique-19th-century-french/bWqa6GNA6YT4mgkMPFUX3w Antique 19th-century French step-back buffet (commonly known as a buffet à deux corps) with a distinctive white marble top. It features design elements characteristic of late 19th-century Louis Philippe/French Empire style, balancing stately structural geometry with subtle ornamentation. The unit natively splits into two independent sections—a deeper base storage server and a shallower upper showcase. Two large glazed cabinet doors frame open interior shelving, ideal for displaying china or books. It is crowned by a contoured, arched molding adorned with a stylized hand-carved floral pediment crest. A polished white gray-veined marble slab bridges the top and bottom units, serving as a functional workspace or buffet serving shelf. Two slender, turned wood support columns flanking the splashback stabilize the upper unit. The bottom cabinet contains two side-by-side cutlery drawers over a pair of solid wood paneled cabinet doors, all outfitted with original decorative brass escutcheons and drawer pulls. [Note: the glazing in the upper-right cabinet door was damaged during the transit from its previous estate]* $400.00 Cash only!
