A southwestern French Louis XV period painted buffet à deux-corps from the mid-18th century with chicken wire and pantalonnière. Originating from the picturesque regions of southwestern France, including Bordeaux, the Dordogne, and the northern Basque area, this elegant buffet à deux-corps features a molded cornice that gracefully overhangs the upper section. Two tall doors, adorned with chicken wire, open to reveal four inner shelves, providing excellent display options for decorative objects. The lower section, known as the pantalonnière, comprises long drawers designed for storing pants, and showcases a delicately carved skirt while resting on four feet—scrolled in the front and straight in the back. Painted in a soft grey hue that beautifully complements the Louis XV silhouette, this buffet circa 1760 will bring a refined touch of elegance to any room, be it a living room, kitchen, dining room, or bedroom.
