Only time will tell. At least when it comes to the lovely patination on this 19th century French buffet cabinet. Swathed in original french gray paint - it features the kind of wear, nicks, and nuances that only occur with advanced age and repeated use. Crafted of solid pine with two drawers and two doors with original locks and hardware (keys included). Measures 54" wide x 25.5" deep x 42.5" high. In very good antique condition. Structurally sound. Painted surface displays a range of chips, cracks, "dings", scratches, scrapes, and other marks. Incudes original locks with keys. Lower cabinet is missing a shelf although brackets to hold one remain in place. Please see photographs for details.
