19th-Century French Painted Buffet

An authentic 19th-century French buffet in its original gray-painted finish, showing the perfect balance of timeworn patina and rustic refinement. The paneled doors feature beautifully carved moldings with a soft serpentine curve — a classic element of provincial cabinetry from the south of France.

Crafted in solid wood, the piece bears all the hallmarks of traditional joinery and age — a gentle warp to the doors, layers of paint softly faded over time, and hardware that’s been touched by generations of use. Ideal as a dining room sideboard, entry cabinet, or console beneath a mirror.
