Accurate Description of Item
One Colonial Revival Style Buffet, Circa 1925
Appraiser Remarks
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.
The style reached it's peak of popularity when your piece was made during the first quarter of the 20th Century. Virtually every funiture maker produced dining room furniture in this style and without a makers mark or tag it's impossible to determine a maker. Most are constructed of either birch or maple and faced with walnut, mahogany and figured veneers of several types. Today values for these pieces depends on their quality of construction, how close they follow original designs and their overall condition.
