A fine 19th century French Empire period buffet, expertly handcrafted of solid walnut by skilled artisans in the historic port city of Bordeaux, circa 1810. Renowned for its rich heritage and refined 19th century furnishings, Bordeaux produced pieces that embody the neoclassical elegance of the Empire style. This exceptional buffet features a rectangular plank top over three drawers, set above two paneled doors flanked by hand-carved Doric columns with original bronze collars. The doors open to reveal a single full-length shelf, providing generous storage. Raised on tall, carved block feet and retaining its original bronze hardware, this piece is as functional as it is beautiful.

A wonderful representation of Bordeaux’s sophisticated craftsmanship, this narrow buffet blends classical lines and restrained Empire ornamentation with practical versatility. Its slim profile makes it ideal for a hallway, dining room, or living space where space is limited but style is essential. Finished in a rich, waxed patina, the walnut’s natural warmth and character are beautifully highlighted, adding a sense of timeless charm and distinguished French elegance to any interior.
