This hunting buffet is supported by a plinth and opens with two double-evolution doors.
On the sides are knife drawers.
Hunting buffets were intended to present game on the marble top and ceremonial tableware in the buffet. During receptions and banquets, it was common in beautiful country houses or hunting lodges of the nobility to leave the doors of the hunting buffet open. This was intended to affirm the social status of the owner, and to emphasize his wealth by revealing expensive tableware and silver cutlery. This was also used to present the beautifully dressed dishes that were going to be served.
