Partially Renaissance Buffet/sideboard

“Sideboard/Dressing Table partially Renaissance” mostly oak, 219 × 98 × 57 cm.
Traces of woodworms (treated), various missing pieces such as the lion’s muzzle in the upper right corner.
Crafted by a cabinet maker in the 1850s, at the height of the Henri II movement, he reused older elements from another late 16th-century piece of furniture to create this spectacular sideboard, such as the columns, pilasters, the frieze depicting fighting dragons, etc.
One can also see the difference in quality between the older elements and the newer ones.
Collectors of Haute Epoque pieces often display sculptures of this type separately, butI find that this reuse allows them to be seen in context, so I leave it up to the buyer to decide what to do with them…
