Duncan Phyfe Buffet

By nwgerlachs, 16 December, 2012
Description

We picked up this piece at an antique shop; the tag didn't have the exact year of manufacture, just "c. 1940s". The piece matches many other Duncan Phyfe buffets we've found online, but we haven't found an exact match.

The buffet is made of mahogany. The top is 1/8" or possibly 5/64th" mahogany veneer in one piece. It is finished in a red mahogany satin finish.

Drawers are dovetailed and dovetails are irregular sizes.

The doors latch on little metal pegs that are spring-loaded so they move up and down as the door is pulled or pushed.

The legs are tapered, turned & carved.

The back is stamped with this stamp: 04-HDF-1096-3643 MAH-BUFFET.

Would like estimated value and approximate year of manufacture.
