Antique Buffet

By vjmill, 10 September, 2012
Description

Large antique American made mahogany buffet.  Over all 66" high x 24" wide by 38" high.  There are three center drawers and two side cabinets, and one long drawer on top of the drawers and side cabinets.

 

All drawers and are lined with velvet or similar material.  The one long drawer is 57" x 19 1/2" x  4 3/4". There are 10 pockets in the front which are 10 x 5x 3 1/2 inches high. There is a long pocket that runs behind the 10 spaces that extends the full length of the top drawer and is 56" x 6 1/2 " x 3 1/2 " high.

 

One of the center drawers is 23" x 17 1/2 " x 5 1/2 ", and the other two are 23" x 17 1/2" x 7" high.

 

Two side compartments with swing out doors are 18" x 18" x 20". 

 

The tag on the back reads LUCE Furniture Company, Grand Rapids, Michigan , and there appear to be two written initials on the back.  It is very curly cursive writing.  I believe one is JAG or JAB or Jan 13. The other one is possibly CA or W something.

History
My father bought this in the early 1950's in an antique store. Unfortunately he did sand it down and put a new stain in the buffet. It has been in our family every since the 50's.
