Description:
The style of the buffet reflects the late 17th century period, specifically the Charles II period, which was between 1660 to 1685. The buffet features three tiers, each constructed from single oak planks, with fine mouldings. The top tier frieze incorporates a secret drawer, carved with primitive floral blind fretwork. Further carvings are present on the lower tiers. The tiers are supported by quality turned bulbous upright supports. The buffet terminates on block feet with a carved apron fretwork.
The buffet has been constructed from earlier 18th century period timbers; this is evident when looking at quality of the timber and carvings. This is common in period furniture, where earlier pieces (typically oak wall panels) were recycled to construct new furniture. It could be viewed as the earliest form of recycling!

Condition Report:
This buffet is in good original condition. Nominal old use marks to the top and leading edges, with some old cup marks to the top shelf (see photos) but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The top drawer opens and closes flush to the frame. The buffet has been cleaned and wax polished in our workshops. As the buffet boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic rich oxblood oak colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. The buffet is well constructed, solid in joint and is ready to be used.
