Nineteenth Century Country Buffet in Soft Sage Green - 33" x 52¼"

This late nineteenth century buffet stands as a refined example of provincial craftsmanship, distinguished by its soft sage green painted finish and beautifully aged patina. The original paint reveals subtle layers and gentle wear, allowing traces of the wood beneath to emerge and lending the piece an inviting, authentic presence. The natural wood top bears time softened stains and old repairs that quietly tell the story of its long, practical life, The top is left in natural wood, marked by old stains and visible repairs that speak to its long, practical life. Two small central doors, fitted with simple period hardware, open to reveal a carefully shaped interior shelf, while a small chain inside secures the left door when closed. A charming patterned paper lines the interior faces of the doors, an unexpected detail that brings a discreet note of color and intimacy when opened. A delicately carved heart on the apron provides a sweet, understated decorative accent.

Today, this buffet works effortlessly in a pantry or kitchen as storage for linens and tableware, or in an entry or living space styled with a vase of fresh flowers or a thoughtful arrangement of objects collected over time. The calm green tones pair beautifully with both neutral interiors and more layered, rustic settings, while the honest wear brings warmth and soul to a room. It is a piece that feels lived in and welcoming, grounding an interior with quiet elegance and enduring charm.
