Victorian walnut buffet: This is considered a buffet, but I think it's more like a masterpiece! I have never seen another one like it. This buffet is so beautiful, unusual and in great condition for it's age.
The base is 51 1/4" w x 20 3/8" deep x 34 7/8" without the marble. The marble is lovely shades of dappled grey & tan . The marble is 54 1/4" w x 22 1/4" deep x 3/4" thick.
As you can see in the photo, there are 5 drawers down the cent...er, and a drawer over each door. All have escutcheons, beautiful burled wood on the fronts & ring pulls.
Both doors are a work of art themselves. They have burled wood in the center with a striking design stripe down the center that seems to be a combination of inlay and paint, as does the top.
The top piece is spectacular! It alone is 47" tall x 14 1/2" deep at it's deepest part on the top rail. The base sitting on the marble is 12" deep. In the center of this beauty is a mirror that is flanked by gorgeous carvings of an ear of corn in husk with just revealing at the top corner. Above the mirror is a shelf with a scalloped front edge 10" deep. Above that is the MOST SPECTACULAR burled walnut in the center that curves amazingly from back bottom to the front top, with the same design as the lower doors going up each side. The posts on each side are carved for more drama.
The dramatic top also comes off. I love this piece. Whoever buys it should be very happy with it.Shipping cost will be calculated by u ship and paid by the buyer.
