    IMG_1205.jpeg My mom has had this server for at least a couple decades if not more. She got it at a local antique store, but can’t remember any history about it. I’ve done a lot of googling and Haven’t been able to find anything quite like it. Would love your opinions on where and when it’s from. Thanks!

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    @Ghopper1924, @verybrad ????? Other than what looks like 'stains' on the top, I think that's a gorgeous piece!!!!!!! AND could you post measurements please?
    Also, have you pulled all the drawers out and looked for a mfgrs stamp.....look on the bottoms and sides, as well on the bottom of the server!!!

    I wouldn't think it was too old when she bought it, but we'll wait on more pix and some actual experts.

    Somehow I didn’t see Aquitaine’s notification.
    Anyway, I’d guess this to be from the 1980s. It uses neo-Victorian decorative motifs, but not in a very well-informed way. Rather, it seeks to take advantage of the then-current interest in all things Victorian.
    Nevertheless, an attractive piece. Impossible to say who made it or where, in the absence of a label. Could have been any one of dozens of factories across the country.
