FAQs

18th-century French provincial buffets were crafted by regional cabinetmakers in areas like Normandy, Provence, and Brittany, primarily intended for storing linens, cutlery, and food in domestic dining spaces.

These pieces were traditionally built from local hardwoods such as walnut, chestnut, or oak, utilising hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged mortise and tenon construction, and wrought iron or brass hardware.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed surfaces, irregular tool marks, hand-forged iron hinges and locks, natural timber shrinkage, and appropriate oxidation patterns consistent with age rather than artificial distress.

An antique wooden buffet functions effectively as a grounding anchor in a modern dining room, hallway, or living space, paired with minimalist contemporary lighting and abstract art to create a balanced contrast.

Preserve antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and applying microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the finish without using silicone-based polishes.
