Wonderful fine and ornate carving decorates this buffet hutch. This lovely piece has outstanding French basket and floral detailed carving.

The quality of this piece is outstanding as demonstrated in both decorative and workmanship quality.

On the design side: the carving has a floral flair and even a French basket on the top and bottom, stepped out curved front to the bottom buffet, decorative original hardware, cabriole legs, and fluted back plate racks with a plate groove.

Some characteristics show both a decorative element as well as quality of construction: beveled panels on the front and sides and beautiful quarter sawn (tiger) oak was used.
