Tara

CUSTOMIZABLE Vintage Bassett Furniture Buffet

Graceful. Grounded. Gorgeous. Tara is the kind of buffet that knows her worth — classic lines, and a Southern charm that could talk you into seconds. With her traditional Bassett craftsmanship and timeless silhouette, she’s just as at home serving sweet tea at Sunday supper as she is holding court beneath a gilded mirror. Tara brings warmth, hospitality, and a touch of old-world poise to any room — because elegance never goes out of style.

Bassett Furniture

Founded in 1902 and still operating today, Bassett furniture has withstood decades of style evolution. Bassett pieces reflect a wide range of styles from Spanish, Safari, to French provincial. The early pieces featured high quality oak wood.

We specialize in high gloss lacquer. We use a waterbased industrial wood lacquer coating, and every layer of primer, color and top coat is catalyzed. It is a very durable finish and will endure for decades with proper care.

Our lacquer finish is catalyzed (2k) at every coat. It is a very durable finish and will endure for decades with proper care. We recommend dusting often and using coasters and protective felt feet on pointed objects.

For cleaning greasy finger prints or dirty smudges, this is the product we use for the "final finish". It is waterbased and will not react with our finish. Do not substitute with a solvent-based finishing spray. We recommend both the Meguiars Final Finish and these microfiber cloths.

Do not use any cleansers with ammonia or other harsh chemicals, it will dull the finish.

Good to know

Waterbased 2k Lacquer

We use a waterbased 2k (catalyzed) lacquer. That means we add a catalyst material to our primer, color and top coat with every coat we spray. This catalyst speeds up dry time and produces a much harder and durable surface. A 2k finish is defined as having a catalyst added. A 1k or pre-cat does not have a catalyst added to each coat.

Catalyzed or 2k lacquers are tricky and hard to do. Application is only through professional spray equipment. It dries in a very short amount of time, which also risks damage to the equipment if you don’t time it right. We believe though, the risk is definitely worth the gorgeous outcome!

Finish Options

Our water-based 2k lacquer is available in matte, satin or a high gloss finish. Color options are endless. We often use swatch books from known brands such as Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, Curator or Farrow & Ball. We also have the ability to match to anything you can imagine, apparel, wallpaper, even a napkin. If you find a color you want for a piece, let us know and we can find you a match.
