The extraordinary antique double buffet is from Normandy, France. It was made in the early 1800 (1820-1850). The heavy carving, turned wheel spokes and incredible detail show how much craftsmanship and detailed work went into creating this magnificent piece!

Normandy is on the northern coast of France and because it is a coastal region nautical motifs are commonly seen on their furniture and case pieces. Armoires and buffets from this region featured the ship wheel motif as seen throughout this piece! As mentioned, each spoke is hand turned.

This piece was acquired at an estate sale at a Chateau in the Bordeaux Region in France.
