FAQs

A buffet a deux corps is a traditional French cabinet constructed in two distinct sections, featuring a narrower upper cupboard mounted on a wider lower base. Emerging in the sixteenth century and widely produced through the eighteenth century, this form was designed for storing household linens, tableware, and valuables.

Regional French craftsmen typically used native hardwoods such as oak, walnut, cherry, or fruitwood, alongside pine or poplar for secondary interior elements. Hardware was forged from hand-wrought iron, including external barrel hinges, backplates, and escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-planed secondary timbers, peg-and-tenon joinery, asymmetric hand-forged iron fittings, and natural wear patterns around handles and bases. Original painted finishes often display layered paint history, surface craquelure, and timber exposure along high-contact edges.

A painted cabinet functions as an anchor piece in open-plan living rooms, dining spaces, or large entryways. Juxtaposing the weathered, textured surface against minimalist architectural lines or neutral wall tones highlights the historic silhouette without overwhelming the room.

Preserve distressed or original paint by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleansers or excess moisture. Apply a clear, un-tinted microcrystalline wax annually to protect the surface and prevent flaking.
