The museum’s exhibition presents a buffet made of light-colored wood, in the Art Nouveau style. The piece has a complex shape, with carved decoration, glass inserts and yellow metal fittings. The design is visually divided into four tiers, one at the bottom and three at the top.
The bottom tier is the base of the buffet: hexagonal in plan, on low wide legs, with a cornice on the upper edge. In the center of the front, the base has a small ledge dividing the facade into three parts.
The central part of the sideboard is wider than the sides. It is a large compartment with a shelf, which is closed with wooden hinged double door leaves. One of them has a handle.
Above the door leaves is a wide drawer. The sides also have one drawer at the top and a compartment at the bottom, closed by a wooden door with a handle. The drawer fronts are decorated on the sides with carving in the form of vertical lines, in the center of each there is a shaped hexagonal metal plate with a keyhole and a staple handle. The doors are decorated with carvings.
The upper part of the buffet is less deep than the base and has a projection in the center that extends slightly forward and significantly upwards, forming an upper tier in the form of a wide open shelf decorated with turned elements and topped with a cornice. Below is a three-part tier with doors. The central part with a shelf inside is closed by two double hinged doors, which are rectangular wooden frames with thick transparent glass inserts. In the upper part of the “grid” there are small inserts of colored glass with a relief surface. The two side parts, topped with cornices, have one compartment with a shelf, closed with a wooden door with a handle.
Each door is decorated with carvings at the top and
has three rectangular inserts of transparent, thick, faceted glass at the
bottom. The third tier has three parts, consisting of open shelves separated by
two vertical partitions and decorated with turned elements. The handles on all
the doors are identical, hexagonal, vertically fixed metal plates with a
keyhole at the top and a small bracket at the bottom. The buffet was acquired
for the museum’s exhibition in 1999.
