all i know about this is it's been in the family for a while. it's in very good shape except for some wear thru on the mirror. i cant find any markings of who or where it was made.
Buffets of this type are in what's called the "Colonial Revival" style. Colonial Revival pieces are reproductions of the original American Colonial items originally produced from 1620-1780. The Colonial Revival style became popular after the first Centennial of the American Revolution in 1876. At that time interest and demand for original Colonial & Federal furnishings was so great it outstripped supply. This caused large manufacturers to begin production of pieces in the Colonial style from the Jacobean to early Georgian periods. Examples like this one date from the turn of the 19th Century.
Today values for these pieces depends on their quality of construction, how close they follow original designs and their overall condition. In the current market comparable buffets to yours have a replacement value in the $500.00- $700.00 range.
