Mid-20th Century Early American Style Highboy Hutch
This is a two-piece freestanding hutch or buffet with hutch top, constructed in the Early American / Colonial Revival style popular during the mid-to-late 20th century. The piece is likely constructed from pine or maple solids with wood veneers and a medium honey-oak finish. The upper section features a scrolled or 'scalloped' valance at the top and matching decorative curved side supports. It contains two fixed shelves with plate grooves, set against a 'v-groove' paneled backboard that mimics traditional wide-plank construction. The lower cabinet base consists of two side-by-side drawers with decorative batwing brass-toned bail pulls and raised-panel fronts. Below the drawers are two cabinet doors with arched raised-panel detailing, separated by a central stile. Regarding condition, the piece shows significant signs of wear consistent with age and storage in a garage or outdoor environment. There is visible finish degradation, specifically scuffing and wood loss along the bottom base molding. Multiple white paint-like splatters are present on the right cabinet door and base. Swelling or water damage may be present at the bottom edge. While functionally solid, the item requires a full refinishing to restore its aesthetic value. The craftsmanship suggests mass-production from the 1960s-1970s, typical of brands like Ethan Allen or Tell City, though no visible maker's mark is confirmed in the photo.
