Buffet enfilade from mid-century France made of wood with a beautiful rosewood. The design across the front emphasizes the burled ash and rosewood as well as lemon wood inlay. There are four doors, each paired with working locks and keys. The doors open to a lemon wood interior. On the left side there is a single wood shelf. On the right there is a wood shelf and two wood drawers. The case piece is supported by a base with tapered legs. The base is ebonized and the front two legs are capped with brass feet. The credenza is in excellent vintage condition – the photos accurately depict the condition.

Originating in the 1950s-1960s, the Mid-Century Modern movement was based on functionality, simplicity, and an organic elegance. Many designers of the period championed the concept that good design could be for everyone. The material itself was used to create the design and dynamic beauty of the piece instead of relying on decorative ornamentation. New technologies gave way to new materials, such as vinyl and resin. Many designers and critics regard the Mid-Century Modern design aesthetic as honest and appealing. These qualities have helped the pieces stay relevant in a quickly changing world. As an interior style, Mid-Century Modern highlights notions of functionality and modern ease.
