I believe that this is a late 1800's or and early 1900's piece of furniture that possibly is one of the earliest pieces they made. It is in beautiful condition with very little imperfections. Someone has forced the top left hand drawer open and broke a 2 inch piece off the inside frame that I have.. This buffet is 64 inches long, 46 inches high and 20 inches deep. The patina is all natural. I think it is quarter oak and it is very heavy. The carving is all very deep and I attribute it to being hand carved but am not certain. The top has 3 drawers..one long center and one short one on either side, two large center drawers and a door on each side. I would very much appreciate any and all information you could give me. I would also appreciate the value of it. See pictures that I have included for more details. The darker picture is the truer color of this piece of furniture. Thank you in advance....Carol
