<p>[QUOTE="Donna B, post: 309524, member: 6280"]We have a beautiful older buffet/sideboard, and I’d like to know its possible origin, time period, and approximate current value. It’s a very unique piece, it’s also very large and quite heavy. It’s a beast of a piece! (Took 4 men to move it into the house.)</p><p><br /></p><p>It measures 39 1/2” height x 84” width x 27 3/4” depth.</p><p><br /></p><p>It has drawers above and cabinets below, as well as 3 very deep pull out shelves on top. It also has a strip of metal (brass?) that is attached along the entire base, possibly to protect the wood from mopping/vacuuming? It also has the old fashion key hole locking mechanisms, no key though. We bought the buffet on eBay from a local family who inherited it from their mom who passed away and they no longer wanted it. If I recall correctly, we paid about $200.00 for it, but it truly seems like such a good quality, solid piece, that it must be worth more than that. Would love any info you might be able to share about this piece! Thank you so much!</p><p><br /></p><p>Donna[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
