A Fine Quality, Mid 19th Century, Victorian Burr Oak Buffet With Very Attractive Carved Decoration and Moulded Panels To Upstand, Over Squared Corner Supports And Further Tier, With Two Superbly Figured, Panelled Cupboard Doors Below Enclosing Open Cavity, Raised On Original Plinth Base.

Generally antique buffets were made to stand alongside sideboards and serving tables on the walls of a dining room. They are of course incredibly functional with a huge amount of display and serving space. This particular design also has the added feature of a small cupboard to the bottom which can be used to store aware a large amount of unsightly clutter if required.

This buffet is constructed from burr oak, sometimes referred to as pollard oak, which is a hughly decorative timber and retains a lovely warmth to it. As with burr walnut, burr maple, burr yew and any other woods which are constructed with burr veneers the item is much rarer than its counterparts constructed from normal timber as there was simply far less burr veneers available, resulting in it being far more expensive to purchase.

Perfect for a whole host of spaces around the home due to its excellent versatility and functionality this 19th century victorian buffet has been attended to in our workshops, by our highly skilled, traditionally trained antique furniture restorers before being offered for sale. This means that it is very much in retail condition and ready to be immediately placed into the home, or office.
