Victorian Style Mirrored Sideboard Bufffet
This is a large, ornate Victorian-style sideboard, likely a revival piece or late 19th-century Victorian example, constructed from a combination of solid hardwoods and highly figured wood veneers. The upper section features a triptych mirror arrangement with a large central shaped mirror flanked by two smaller side mirrors, all set within a complex framework of spindle-turned supports and open shelving. The top is crowned with an elaborate, pierced foliate and scrollwork cresting. The lower base section consists of a central bank of three wide drawers, flanked by two side drawers and two recessed-panel cabinets. The central drawer fronts exhibit striking book-matched burl wood veneers, providing a high-contrast decorative element against the darker cherry or mahogany finish of the primary frame. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the deep moldings, hand-carved floral motifs on the cabinet doors, and the intricate fretwork. Hardware consists of ornate brass or bronze-finished bail pulls and escutcheons which appear original. The piece stands on a low plinth base with bracket feet and showing a scalloped apron. Condition appears good with a consistent aged patina, though minor scuffs and surface wear are visible along the base and edges typical for a piece of this vintage. The overall scale and complexity suggest it was manufactured as a high-end dining room centerpiece.
