Mahogany sideboard / buffet server
Estimated Value
$300-$900
A large traditional sideboard or buffet server featuring a long rectangular top, three central drawers, and cabinet doors on both sides. The piece has a warm reddish-brown mahogany appearance, carved decorative accents at the corners and apron, and turned front legs. The hardware consists of matching pull handles in a classic double-loop style. The design suggests a formal dining-room furnishing intended for storage of tableware, linens, or serving pieces. The styling is conservative and revival-inspired rather than highly ornate, consistent with mid-20th-century furniture made in a traditional Georgian or Colonial Revival manner.
