The rear is raised 5 1/4” to a 6 1/4” ledge along the entire width of the buffet. Rising from the ledge is a beautifully carved back board with four arched sections.</font></p> <p><font size="4" color="black">Each side of the arch is supported by a carved column and surrounded above by detailed carving. Between each section of arches and on each end are carved oblong medallions and surrounded by intertwined edging.<br> </font></p> <p><font size="4" color="black">Two massive solid oak columns support the oak canopy. Each column is highly carved acanthus, draping, and geometric figures rising to an egg and dart crown and Ionic capitals. From the base of the column to the base <br> of the canopy measures 27 1/4”. The circumference of the fullest portion of the column is 7 3/4”.<br>The canopy is highly carved around the face with geometric and stylized floral designs. Dentil molding supports <br> the upper molding which is identical to the molding around the base.</font></p> <p><font size="4" color="black">The hardware is all original and in outstanding condition. Each drawer pull is a massive bronze of putti, winged creatures, and scrolling acanthus. Each is mounted on heavily cast bronze plates. Each end drawer and door has a lock and the key is included.
