American Made Buffet Appraisal

Statton Trutype Americana Cherry Buffet or Sideboard

This is a mid-20th-century buffet or sideboard manufactured by Statton Furniture Manufacturing Company under their recognized 'Trutype Americana' line. The piece is constructed from solid cherry wood, featuring a rich, dark reddish-brown finish that is characteristic of the Colonial Revival style popular in the high-end American furniture market between the 1950s and 1980s. The unit features a single long top drawer decorated with ornate brass batwing escutcheons and pulls, alongside a central faux-keyhole plate. Below the drawer are three cabinet doors; the outer doors feature arched recessed panels while the center door appears to be a fixed or separate panel with a matching design. The piece sits on a classic bracket foot base with a scalloped apron detail. The craftsmanship is indicative of Statton's high standards, including mitered joints and heavy solid wood construction. Regarding condition, the piece shows a well-maintained patina with slight surface wear consistent with age, though the low-resolution image obscures fine scratches. The brass hardware shows slight oxidation but remains intact. Statton pieces are highly regarded for their durability and faithful reproduction of 18th-century American furniture designs.
