Late 19th Century Oak Buffet

This late 19th-century antique oak buffet embodies the elegance and detailed craftsmanship of the Victorian era. Constructed from solid oak, this robust piece features a panelled back and is highlighted by intricate scrollwork that adorns the buffet’s upper section, adding a decorative flourish that captures the eye.

Each of the five drawers showcases Knapp dovetail joints—a hallmark of furniture from this period, known for their durability and unique fish-tail design. The drawers are complemented by ornate brass hardware, which enhances the buffet’s aesthetic appeal while providing a hint of opulence.

The buffet is complemented by two side cabinets, each measuring 13 inches in height, perfect for storing larger items. Above, an adjustable angle mirror adds practicality and charm, allowing for versatile use in any dining or living space. The use of flathead screws throughout aligns with the period's construction standards.

Condition:
The buffet has been skillfully restored to maintain its original allure while ensuring functionality. The finish shows wear consistent with age, adding character to the piece. Notably, the left door does not close properly, and there is a scorch mark on the second drawer, details that highlight its rich history and use over the years.
