To me, your piece does not look as if it ever had an attached mirror. </p><p><br /></p><p>Until Brad pointed it out, I had not realized that this was rather regional usage.&nbsp; If you acquire any more Philadelphia pieces, here&#039;s one more.&nbsp; That, often large, piece of furniture in the dining room which holds the silverware, table linens, punch bowl, etc., etc., in its drawers, is known as a sideboard in the Philadelphia area.&nbsp; Elsewhere it may be called a buffet, and there are other names which are not coming to mind at the moment.</p><p><br /></p><p>May I add that you and your mother have admirable taste, and one keeps detachable collars in one of those top drawers. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
