Antique QS Oak Sideboard/Buffet Bev. Mirror & Griffins/ empire revival /////art and crafts mirror griffins

I underlined both styles that were made. What I find interesting is how poorly made and carved the griffins are, Not the way Empire Revival makers would do, Have you ever hear the term Bench Made?.. I will keep looking for you, hope someone will give you the right answer, I would also love to know more....Thanks, good luck
