About the Item

Bring remarkable provincial craftsmanship and architectural presence into a dining room or breakfast room with this important antique French “Buffet à Horloge” from the Bresse region near Lyon, France, circa 1760. Handcrafted entirely of walnut and richly figured burl walnut, the monumental two-piece vaisselier combines practical storage with the elegance of a traditional longcase clock cabinet. The upper section is crowned with a graceful bonnet top housing the original clock behind a molded glass door. The enamel dial with Roman numerals is framed by a decorative brass surround topped with the iconic Gallic rooster finial. Beneath, a central violin-form clock case door showcases beautifully matched burlwood panels framed by molded walnut trim. Open plate racks flank each side, designed to display faience, porcelain, or copper, while carved side doors conceal additional shelving for storage. The original red-painted interior creates a striking contrast against the warm honey-toned walnut surface. The lower buffet stands on elegant scroll feet over a scalloped apron carved with shell motifs in the Louis XV taste. Three paneled cabinet doors open to spacious interior shelving, while four drawers across the facade retain their original forged iron pulls and escutcheons. Fine molded panels, shaped doors, and beautifully grained walnut throughout highlight the cabinet’s exceptional regional craftsmanship. The clock movement has been checked and cleaned and is in good working order, chiming on the hour and half hour. Pendulum, two weights, winding key, and cabinet keys are included. This antique Bressan vaisselier remains in excellent condition commensurate with age and use and adorns a rich walnut patina throughout. Dimensions: 78.5”W x 22.5”D x 110.5”H

This impressive antique French buffet deux corps was crafted in Normandy circa 1780 and exemplifies the elegant provincial interpretation of the Louis XV style. Built in solid pine, the two-part cabinet combines graceful movement with abundant hand-carved ornamentation, showcasing the craftsmanship and regional character for which Norman furniture is celebrated. The upper vitrine is crowned with a shaped bonnet featuring carved scrolls and a richly detailed central crest decorated with birds, grapes, floral bouquets, and a woven basket motif. Two glazed doors with shaped moldings open to reveal two interior shaped shelves designed for the display of faience, porcelain, glassware, or treasured collections. Delicate carved floral garlands and foliate motifs embellish the façade throughout, while the original brass escutcheons and hardware add authenticity and charm. The upper display section has been fitted with interior lighting controlled by a convenient on/off switch, allowing collections to be beautifully illuminated. The lower cabinet is fitted with two paneled doors framed by deeply molded surrounds and accented with carved floral decoration. Inside, the case offers generous storage and retains an interior pull-out drawer. A distinctive carved star medallion centered on the shaped apron adds a unique decorative element rarely encountered on provincial Norman furniture. The cabinet stands on elegant Louis XV feet and retains wonderful proportions that provide both visual lightness and practical functionality. Throughout, the pine exhibits beautiful grain patterns and a warm honey-colored patina developed over centuries of use.
