Bring timeless Italian character into your home with this beautiful mid-19th century painted buffet, dating from around 1820. Elegant in its simplicity, the piece features gently chamfered corners, clean architectural lines and a wonderfully mellow painted finish that has developed a rich patina over time.
Behind the pair of cupboard doors is generous storage, making it as practical today as when it was first crafted. The original lock and working key remain with the piece, adding an authentic detail that reflects its history and craftsmanship.
Although the painted finish has been refreshed during its lifetime, it has aged beautifully, creating the soft muted blue/grey tones, gentle wear and character that make antique Italian furniture so sought after. The naturally worn top, distressed edges and layers of colour all contribute to a finish that feels relaxed, elegant and full of personality.
Whether used as a sideboard in a dining room, a statement storage piece in a hallway or a characterful cupboard in a kitchen or sitting room, this antique buffet sits comfortably within both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Every antique piece at Tallulah Fox has lived a unique life before finding its way to us. Gentle wear, historic repairs, natural patina and the character that comes with age are not imperfections but part of each piece's story, making every item entirely individual.
