The lower body of the unit–protruding slightly beyond the shelves like a “buffet a deux corps”–offers locking cabinets for (less visible) storage and organization.

Dimensions: 82 ⅜” H x 56” W x 28 ⅜” D
A substantial carved cabinet from Portugal, 18th century if not earlier, made of chestnut wood that has been carefully transformed with reeded, geometric designs on the four doors.

The top cabinet offers a high, narrow shelf around three sides like a kind of mezzanine over a 22” deep shelf that fills the interior.

The lower cabinet has one shelf, approximately 48” wide x 22” deep.
