Parisian Art Nouveau buffet. Made of walnut and beech wood, it uses elm root in the doors and in the central panel, combining grains and contrasting textures of noble woods. Following a genuinely modernist aesthetic, the mullions and moldings boast organic and linear designs. Fine foliage carving and fruit bouquets worked in relief decorate the flanks of the top and soffit of the upper display case. The glass cabinet houses two shelves and the lower body houses four cabinets. The bronze handles, on the drawers and doors, take the form of plant stems and flowers. The top of the countertop is white marble.
