MASTERPIECE SIDEBOARD BUFFET
AMERICAN MADE ARTS & CRAFTS ORIGINAL
RESTORED TO MUSEUM QUALITY
CIRCA 1900-1910
I ACQUIRED THIS FROM AN ANTIQUE DEALER IN VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON, HE PURCHASED IT FROM AN ESTATE IN PORTLAND, OREGON. IT WAS LIKELY IN A CRAFTSMAN STYLE HOME WHICH ARE VERY POPULAR IN PORTLAND, OREGON IN THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE HE PURCHASED IT!!
ENTIRE PIECE SOLID HARDWOOD CONSTRUCTION BUILT LIKE A BATTLESHIP
THE FINEST QUARTERSAWN OAK VENEERS I HAVE EVER SEEN, the fine parallel grain pattern is spectacular & very rare
ALL THE FRETWORK IS FANTASTIC, I LOVE THE CORNER COLUMNS FRETWORK ENDING IN THE INCREDIBLE FRONT FEET
THE BACKSPLASH ITSELF IS A WORK OF ART
DOVETAIL DRAWER JOINERY
ORIGINAL PURPLE VELVET IN ONE CUTLERY DRAWER
MORTISE & TENON DOOR JOINERY
I DID A METICULOUS TOP TO BOTTOM RESTORATION ATTENDING TO EVERY LITTLE DETAIL & RETURNED THIS MASTERPIECE TO ITS FULL GLORY & MUSEUM QUALITY, ITS A SHOWPIECE!
ALL LOCKS HAVE BEEN RESTORED, all locks use the same key except for the doors which one had a missing lock & the other a defective lock which required antique replacements & their own key, one key works both small door locks
FINISH WAS TOUCHED UP AS NEEDED
BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL COPPER PLATED STEEL HINGES JUST AS YOU WOULD EXPECT ON AN ARTS & CRAFTS PIECE!!
ALL ORIGINAL HARDWARE OTHER THAN ONE OF THE OVAL BACK PLATES WHICH WAS MISDING AND I HAD AN EXACT REPLICA CUSTOM CAST, I POLISHED ALL THE HARDWARE INCLUDING THE KEYHOLE ESCUTCHEONS, DRAWER PULLS, HINGES, DOOR LATCH & MORTISE LOCKS
THE ORIGINAL COPPER PLATED STEEL 2” CASTER WOOD WHEELS WERE IN POOR CONDITION, I RESTORED THEM & INSTALLED ALL NEW SOLID MAPLE WHEELS, you will need to insert them into their sockets when sideboard arrives. They are so beautiful I did not want to mar them in any way by installing them now!
BACKSPLASH HAD 2 SUPPORTS ON EACH END OF THE REAR WHICH I CUSTOM MADE TO REPLACE MISSING ORIGINAL SUPPORTS
I HAVE BEEN RESTORING FINE ANTIQUES FOR OVER 40 YEARS & HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY PIECE QUITE LIKE THIS, IT IS EXCEPTIONAL IN EVERY WAY & PERHAPS YOU WILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS I DO & WANT TO PROUDLY OWN IT!
WHAT A JOY & PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO RETURN THIS AMAZING AMERICAN HISTORIC PIECE TO ITS FULL GLORY FOR GENERATIONS TO CHERISH!!
