Empire Buffet, remarkable marquetry top

Antique Empire-style cabinet with wide, square legs surmounted by columns, early 19th century. The top features remarkable marquetry work: lozenges and chevrons in walnut and various fruitwoods. Large opening with two wooden doors with superb mahogany veneer, pendant-style bronze handles, oak interior, and poplar shelf. One large dovetail drawer with a poplar interior. An exceptional sideboard crafted from the finest woods: walnut, blond walnut, and cherry. Beautiful color variations due to the different wood species. Original veneer and marquetry: some signs of wear consistent with its age: discreet veneer imperfections on the top and sides, and visible old restorations. Overall in very good original condition, with a sound and solid structure. 0201003me.
