Antique Quarter Sawn Oak Buffet/Sideboard
Oversized (96" wide x 48.5" tall x 25.5" deep) quarter sawn oak buffet/sideboard. Appears to be of European origin (likely French), owing to "La Continentale Menkes" (Brussels) tags affixed to back of piece. Probably either early 20th century or late 19th century. Overall, the piece is in great condition, but one shelf on each end of the buffet (in the space behind each door) is not original. I am also unsure if the wood inlays on the two doors are original, as they are not oak (perhaps walnut).
