Antique carved buffet
This is intricately carved buffet that I acquired at an auction years ago. It was said to have possibly been European and from the 1800s but I’m not sure. It comes in 2 pieces and goes together with wooden dowels only. It stands over 8 feet tall and is over 9 feet wide. There are mermen, cherubs, family crest, bare chested women, and even lions on top. I would like to know more about this piece as it is the most expensive piece we own and we are in love with it.
7 1/2 feet tall 9 feet wide.
