Sideboard or Buffet??

My inlaws rescued this piece in the late 70's from a dump. The original finish was very dark and dry, so we treated the wood and wanted a more up to date finish, hench the new crackle finish. It has a "back splash" piece not visible in the photo, about 4 inches high in the middle with a shell carved in it. The shell is repeated at the bottom in the front. The legs are long and curved, but not lion footed. No other markings were found.
