Massive Oak Bruegal Buffet
The greatest of the Flemish sixteenth-century masters of genre was Pieter Bruegel the Elder. We know little of his life except that he had been to Italy, like so many northern artists of his time, and that he lived and worked in Antwerp and Brussels, where he painted most of his pictures in the 1560s. The 'kind' of painting on which Bruegel concentrated was scenes from peasant life. He painted groups of peasants, merrymaking, feasting, working and going about the tasks of their daily lives. The furniture that bears his name is usually adorned with this type of carving, as is this incredible buffet. Dovetailed drawers with all original brass finial hinges and drawer handles are sure signs of the timeless craftsmanship used in this piece. This wonderful buffet is a simple example of his work. Gorgeous paneling featuring carved scenes accent the front! One outstanding feature of this piece is the carved figures on the columns; this type of carving is very time consuming and is most definitely done by hand. Other features such as cup and saucer legs and spacious cabinets elevate this piece from commonality to a state of exquisite grace! One interesting feature is the traditional drop front bar cabinet that rests in the center of the piece. This cabinet has a glass serving area and a wonderful glass shelf for storing cup and bottle. Imagine how wonderful it would look in your dining room! This is the perfect piece to impress all your dinner guests when entertaining. However you decide to use this piece you are sure to fall in love with her old world beauty!
