Condition Note:  The buffet is in good antique condition commensurate with its age and scale. The solid oak structure is sound and stable throughout. The drawers run well and the cupboard doors open and close correctly. The interior shelving is present. As with all pieces of this age and scale, there is honest wear consistent with over 140 years of use — the natural patination and minor surface marks of a well-used piece of furniture.
