Armitage Brown Server

This piece is engineered for longevity using pecan veneers and high-quality joinery. The drawers are built with French dovetail joints in the front and English dovetail joints in the back—a hallmark of superior craftsmanship that creates interlocking wood joints resistant to warping or pulling apart. Additionally, the drawers utilize full-extension ball-bearing glides, ensuring smooth operation even when fully loaded with heavy silverware or serving pieces.

Traditionally, a server is slightly taller and more streamlined than a buffet, designed specifically for the "service" of food. This server stands at 38 inches high, which is an ideal ergonomic height for serving dishes during a meal. While buffets often have a heavier, floor-length profile, servers like this one frequently feature more detailed base designs, providing a regal aesthetic that anchors a room without making it feel overly crowded.

With a width of 65.25 inches, this is a substantial piece that acts as a focal point. To ensure a comfortable flow in your dining room, we recommend leaving at least 36 inches of clearance between the server and your dining table. This allows enough space for guests to pass behind seated diners and for the two doors and center drawer to be opened fully without obstruction.

To preserve the intricate carved inlaid design and the dark brown finish, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning of the pecan veneers, our expertise suggests using a cloth slightly dampened with mild soap and water, followed immediately by a dry cloth to prevent moisture damage. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes containing silicone, as they can build up over time and dull the traditional luster.
