About the Item
This elegant French buffet from the mid-19th century embodies the refined simplicity of the Biedermeier period, brought to life in richly hued fruitwood. Likely crafted in provincial France, the form is classic and understated—but what truly sets this piece apart is the exceptionally rare use of end grain veneers across the drawer fronts and lower apron. These dramatic, almost three-dimensional veneers add visual depth and organic movement to the facade, showcasing the artisan’s eye for both materials and design.
The case is arranged in a clean two-over-two layout, with a pair of upper drawers over paneled cabinet doors. While the brass drawer pulls are later replacements, they suit the period aesthetic nicely and function well. A decorative escutcheon adds a touch of ornament, while the stepped top molding and substantial base offer a sense of quiet gravitas. Inside, a full-width shelf provides practical storage, making this a versatile choice for dining, entry, or living room use. The warm golden tones of the fruitwood complement both rustic and more formal interiors with ease.
In nice antique condition with wear consistent with age and use. There are minor scuffs, light surface blemishes, and subtle irregularities to the veneer—all part of the character of a well-aged piece. The end grain detail is remarkably well preserved and clearly visible in the photos. Structurally sound and visually distinctive, this buffet is a wonderful example of how even modest furniture from the Biedermeier era can express exceptional craftsmanship and natural beauty. 40h x 51w x 22d

19th Century Late Biedermeier Farmhouse Softwood Buffet
Located in Darmstadt, DE
Authentic buffet is from the late Biedermeier / mid-19th century and was made of softwood. The furniture has a wonderful old patina which was only cleaned and re-oiled. The buffet still has the original locks and glass panes installed. The locks are functional. The glass panes are original mouth-blown from the time, with the usual flaws that have arisen in this production at the time. The middle part was probably extended in height a long time ago. The feet were added in more recent times. A wonderful handcrafted solidly made Farmhouse furniture...
