Long Description
I was given this antique sideboard as a gift and was told that it was approximately 100 years old. There are no visible markings or engravings on the wood, however the brass locks bear the mark "J.E.A.S. 2232/12 PAT.LEVER" which appear to originate from England in the 1920's or 30's. The drawers are dovetailed and I believe the sideboard is constructed of oak.Â

Re: Antique Sideboard/Buffet (unmarked) - Era/Origin??
Yes this one dates to the first quarter of the 20th Century and was once part of a matching diningroom suite. Pieces like this were made in very large numbers on both sides of the Atlantic, so they are not considered rarew or all that valuable, at auction they often now sell for $250.00 or less.
Re: Antique Sideboard/Buffet (unmarked) - Era/Origin??
Thank you for your input Lovejoy! Â In your opinion, would it be worth more than $250 if I sold it privately or retail, and not auction? Â
Re: Antique Sideboard/Buffet (unmarked) - Era/Origin??
Yes it would, but you might have to wait a bit for a buyer. We'd retail a comparable for over $450.00.
Lock replacement
I have a buffet with the same locks "J.E.A.S. 2232/12 PAT.LEVER". I need to find a source to repair them or replace them. Any help?
