The silhouette is classic Louis Philippe — clean, architectural lines softened by gently rounded corners and a subtly molded top with restrained overhang.

The façade features two spacious upper drawers fitted with simple, timeworn brass pulls, resting above a pair of paneled cabinet doors framed in bold, mitered moldings. The recessed panels add depth and structure while maintaining the refined simplicity characteristic of the Louis Philippe period. Original keyholes remain intact, adding to its authenticity and charm.

The bleached cherry finish gives this piece a fresh, lightened presence while preserving its age and patina. You can still see the honest character of the wood — faint marks, natural grain variations, and gentle wear that speak to its 19th century origins.

Raised on bracket feet with subtle curves, this buffet has a grounded, substantial stance while maintaining elegant proportions. It offers generous interior storage, making it as functional as it is timeless.

A versatile piece that works beautifully in a dining room, entryway, or even as a sophisticated media console — quiet, refined, and effortlessly French. See less
