Item Description:
This is a gorgeous antique English solid oak buffet sideboard. It features a distinguished backsplash that includes a rectangular beveled mirror with a convenient shelf, a luxurious shaped beveled cornice beautifully adorned with fancy fretwork, 2 cabinets that have a total of 4 shelves, 2 removable, and they have beautiful *astragal wood glazed glass doors, they have lock mechanisms with 1 key but only one door locks and the other tends to stay open but can be easily fixed. There are also shaped motifs, raised beveled surfaces and very attractive turned baluster columns. The backsplash is slightly warped on its center at the bottom that keeps it from touching the buffet top surface but as shown it is not distracting at all. In addition it has a top surface with a beveled edge, 2 drawers with dovetail joinery that have attractive designs on their front with lovely brass tear drop pulls, 2 cabinets that have 3 shelves, 1 removable, and a *cellarette. They have gorgeous paneled doors with raised beveled surfaces that are beautifully adorned with protruding oval accents and distinguished foliage & scroll designs, and they have lovely brass pulls. The cabinet doors do not have locks nor key. There is also an additional spacious shelf on the bottom that has gorgeous turned balusters and block feet. This piece may show minor age appropriate signs of wear including wood imperfections and separations but as shown it is overall cosmetically and structurally in excellent condition and it is strong and sturdy. This is an outstanding piece of furniture that will be cherished at home for many years.
What is astragal (wood or lead) glazing? As it pertains to later period furniture, it is a method of securing glass to the straight, semi-circular, or shaped moldings found on glass doors and windows of furniture. On newer reproduction furniture, the astragal molding may set atop the glass to give the appearance of glazing where on older English furniture, it is not uncommon for each piece of glass to be cut to shape and glazed into the molding.
*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.

We appreciate the opportunity to serve our valued customers and want them to know that customer service is our top priority here at MBW Furniture. In order to deliver fragile furniture and antiques to our customers in excellent condition and without damage, we have implemented strict quality control measures and have utilized only the best methods in packing and crating to ensure safe arrival of your order to your destination.
MBW Quality control and Packing:
It is important for our customers to realize that most items we sell are extremely fragile and require extra care in packing and handling, especially antiques, bars and handcrafted furniture. Such items require boxes and wooden crates to be custom made only by packers with years of packing and crating experience. Such custom crates also need added protection and padding on the inside with top quality packing materials. Simply put, we do not and will not compromise the quality of our packing and for this reason; our shipping and handling costs might be slightly higher than sellers selling similar items. We feel it is important for our customers to realize that professional packing is not cheap and we do not want to take any chances with your hard earned money.
We appreciate the opportunity and welcome any feedback you can give that will help us improve your buying experience with us.
