This item is a 19th century Louis Philippe-style sideboard or buffet. It features the characteristic simple lines and robust, solid wood construction of the Louis Philippe period (circa 1830-1848). It has two paneled doors below two functional dovetailed drawers, a common configuration for buffets or sideboards used for dining room storage. The simple, turned knobs on the drawers and the keyhole escutcheons are typical of the era. Pay close attention to the unusually shallow depth.
