What is an edwardian mirror back buffet used for?

These large pieces served as practical storage for dining room silver, linen, and glassware during formal meals. The top surface and mirror back provided a dedicated space to display decorative ceramics and family silver for guests to admire.

How do I tell an Arts and Crafts buffet apart?

Arts and Crafts buffets lean away from heavy Victorian carving in favour of unadorned oak surfaces and simple geometric lines. They frequently feature exposed joinery and hand-beaten copper or brass hardware rather than polished cast brass handles.

Are these buffets difficult to move?

Due to their solid timber construction and the presence of heavy glass mirrors, these pieces are exceptionally heavy and usually require two people to handle. Many period examples were built with a detachable mirror superstructure to make transport through doorways somewhat easier.

How do I maintain the wood and glass?

The timber surfaces benefit from occasional applications of natural beeswax to nourish the grain and preserve the original surface sheen. Glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth prevents moisture from seeping behind the mirror plate and damaging the silvered backing.
