A Brief History of the Sideboard
Rooted in the daily life of 19th-century provincial homes, the country sideboard was the guardian of generous tables. Crafted from solid woods such as oak or cherry, it stands out with its sober lines and unique patina, a testament to the passage of time. Whether called a "buffet bas" (low sideboard) or "buffet deux-corps" (two-part sideboard), it falls into a Rustic or Country Chic style depending on its ornamentation. Unlike formal living room furniture, it prioritizes functionality with its large doors and deep drawers.
