Antique French Louis XVI Mahogany Buffet ~ Server with Carrara Marble is a remarkable example of refined neoclassical design!  The rounded sides provide a deceptive width which is just over four feet wide.  The casework features one door with broad radius curvatures on the sides and a subtle curved edge of the one door creating a smooth, flowing look.  Three drawers on the top tier provide convenient storage, with the outboard drawers pivoting out for access, and each drawer fitted with brass key guards and flanked by brass louver adornments.  Matching key guards appear on the cabinet door which opens wide to reveal abundant storage.  Flanking the door are two open shelf areas with Cararra marble surfaces reflected in mirror backing, with the center shelves also fitted with a brass gallery rail.  The tailored design with molding used for framework more than embellishment allows one to more fully appreciate the sheer natural beauty of the imported mahogany.  Brass collars and tips also adorn the supporting tapered legs.  The most unusual aspect, however, is the extra-thick luxurious Carrara marble on top that has been meticulously contoured and beveled to follow the casework lines below, creating a carefree and elegant surface to display, serve, and entertain!
