French Walnut Buffet with Ckock

Acquired from a monastery in the French countryside, this massive and impressive solid Walnut buffet has a clock that chimes and multiple racks.

It features a clock that chimes on the hour and have multiple racks for storing plates and other dining wares. The clock adds a decorative element to the piece and also serves the practical function of keeping time during meals.
