AN IMPOSING EMPIRE STYLE GILT AND PATINATED BRONZE, AND ANTIQUE GREEN MARBLE MARBLE MOUNTED MAHOGANY BUFFET France, late 19th/early 20th century

the arched upper part centered by a time piece, the brass wheel engraved dial with roman numerals, the twin train movement with VINCENTI pastilles, and numbered 32, the cabinet fitted with three cupboard doors opening to one long shelf.

Overall in fair condition, with the usual dents, chips, nicks and scratches to wooden carcass. The upper structure back panel seems to be slightly roped or curved. The green antico marble inlay to the proper right hand side of the cabinet shows cracks and repairs. Most of the bronze mounts will need to be tightened back to the carcass; for instance, each eagle is loose and will need new threading.
