This unique buffet Henri II is exceptional in every way. It was made "rue du Faubourg Saint Antoine" in Paris, where the best of furniture craftsmen were practicing their art.

The Buffet bears two seals of then famous Parisian Furniture and Tapestry store Maison J. Pitavino (Grand Comptoir Mobilier); which it was made for.

The extraordinary finesse of the carvings of that piece leads to believe that they were realized by Italian artists. Indeed, they were many at Faubourg Saint Antoine at that time; and second to none in their trade. Look closely at the scenery of the front central door. It includes fine details such as the castle keys, the swallows flights etc., all carved in the mass of the door. That piece is made of solid walnut - Handles and hardware are made of brass. A unique piece of an exceptional quality and superb patina.

Dimensions: H: 97" - W: 75" - D: 24.5
