Item Description:
This is a gorgeous antique English solid walnut Victorian buffet sideboard server. It features a breathtaking backsplash that includes a distinguished pediment adorned with scroll carvings and fancy fretwork designs, a large beveled mirror that has a unique shield shape with frame, 2 paneled surfaces with scroll & foliage carvings, 2 convenient shelves, 2 shaped beveled mirrors and 2 beautiful turned columns with rings. The mirror shows some age appropriate hazing and flaws but they only add character to the piece. The top surface has a beveled edge and there are 3 cabinets that have a total of 4 shelves including a *cellarette and they have beautiful paneled doors with very attractive scroll & foliage carvings and brass handles. In addition there is a shelf on the bottom. This piece is adorned with acanthus leaves and it has lovely pear feet and it may show minor age appropriate signs of wear including wood imperfections and scratches but as shown it is overall in very good cosmetic and structural condition and it is strong and sturdy. This handsome piece of furniture will make a great addition to any room you choose to display it in.
*CELLARETTE (i.e. little cellar), strictly that portion of a sideboard which is used for holding bottles and decanters, so called from a cellar (which in general may be any underground unlighted apartment) being commonly used for keeping wine. Sometimes it is a drawer, divided into compartments lined with zinc, and sometimes a cupboard, but still an integral part of the sideboard. In the latter part of the 18th century, when the sideboard was in process of evolution from a side-table with drawers into the large and important piece of furniture which it eventually became, the cellaret was a detached receptacle. It was most commonly of mahogany or rosewood, many-sided or even octagonal, and occasionally oval, bound with broad bands of brass and lined with zinc partitions to hold the ice for cooling wine. Sometimes a tap was fixed in the lower part for drawing off the water from the melted ice. Cellarets were usually placed under the sideboard, and were, as a rule, handsome and well proportioned; but as the artistic impulse which created the great 18th-century English school of furniture died away, their form grew debased, and under the influence of the English Empire fashion, which drew its inspiration from a bastard classicism, they assumed the shape of sarcophagi incongruously mounted with lions heads and claw-feet. Hepplewhite called them gardes du yin ; they are now nearly always known as wine-coolers.
