One Beautiful Buffet

 This buffet had been stored in a very damp basement for a number of years.  The drawers and doors were almost impossible to open.  The large bottom drawer fell apart when opened. The backboard was broken and was just nailed together.

And this buffet is big!




You can see the nails holding the scrolled detail in place.



The bottom drawer had fallen to pieces, sides missing, bottom warped and split.



And here she is today. She looks like she is wearing ear rings!  



I gently distressed the buffet to accent the scrolled front detailing. 






The buffet is 66 1/2 inches long, 21 1/2 inches wide and 41 inches tall.

$350.

A true Antique

This cabinet/buffet was painted, painted and the painted again, and what do I do strip it!  Every other piece of furniture I buy, I paint...go figure!  


I thought that the cabinet would be pine, but only the drawer front panels turned out to be pine.  The rest is oak.  This cabinet is so old all of the panels were nailed with hand made square nails.


The cabinet was just too boring with pine panels so I painted them to match the sides.  I then lightly sanded the drawer fronts for a distressed look and put on new handles.


I like the open surface, so I did not re-install the boxes on top.  I don't think that the boxes were original to the cabinet, they were a different type of wood, and just did not match the cabinet.

 

The Cabinet is sold
