I'm guessing it's American, solid mahogany even the backside (assuming it's mahogany) the veneers on drawers are pretty thick and the dove tails look old. Any info on possible age and maker would be appreciated!

    Welcome Lorraine. A picture of the whole buffet would be helpful for the furniture people (of which I am not one unfortunately.)

    It’s 20th century, likely 1920s to 1940s. Called Depression era furniture. Part of a dining room set. Machine cut dovetail on drawer. Looks mahogany-ish but that could be a stain on another wood. (Your pics are too dark). Almost certainly a veneer, not solid mahogany. Looks like drawer pulls were replaced at some point. Won’t know maker unless you can find a label or some marks inside, or on back.

    Mostly agree with the above. Think I see oak veneer on the body with other wood(s) in the frame and feet stained to match. Probably English or continental in origin. Search English art deco buffet to see similar examples.

    If it's English, use the term sideboard as well. We'd not call it a buffet.
