Know before you buy
As an authentic 19th-century piece, this buffet features a rich, natural patina that reflects its age and history. While it is structurally sound and crafted from solid oak, you should expect the subtle character marks and wear consistent with a piece of this vintage.
The buffet features four paneled doors that open to reveal a spacious interior. It includes two internal shelves, providing ample room for organizing dining essentials, linens, or media equipment.
At 175 inches wide, this is a substantial, long-format piece. We recommend carefully measuring your intended wall space and ensuring you have clear pathways for delivery, as the piece is quite large and cannot be disassembled.
No, this piece arrives fully assembled. Because it is constructed from solid oak, it is a heavy, high-quality item that is ready to be placed in your home immediately.
The buffet features a natural wood grain finish that highlights the organic beauty of the solid oak. To maintain its appearance, we recommend dusting with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the historic patina.
