Each piece of the vintage sideboard buffet has distinct identifying marks which reveals its authenticity. To look for a sideboards' identifying marks, examine carefully the bottom part and the back of the sideboard. Look at the side of the drawer for signs of dovetails. When you take a look at the insides of the drawer, where it meets with the sides you should be able to see a large cut of woods. These reveal a sign of hand craftsmanship. If dovetails are missing, then that piece of furniture is probably manufactured with modern-day technologies designed to replicate an antique. Another tell-tale sign of authentic antique furniture is having marks and chalk signatures. These are commonly practiced during the 17th and 18th centuries which may indicate who made the piece or where it was produced. Woods normally expand and depreciate over time due to fluctuations. Those furniture that are made from the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries don't typically have wood cracks as they think it decreases the piece's value. With these ideas in mind, you should be able to differentiate a mere shadow from the original. Examine thoroughly if it's from the time period as the antique seller says it's from. Is it hand-casted by an artist or manufactured using modern machinery. If it's signed, is the signature real?
A sideboard is a piece of furniture commonly found in homes to serve as extra storage for dining-related items for formal and special occasions. Sideboards normally have cupboards and behind doors for hiding clutters such as glasswares, flatwares, linens, candles, tablecloths, and more. Its top surface is designed for displaying decorative items you want to showcase or as an added layer to place food trays for hosting and get-togethers. Sideboards can also serve as a beautiful standalone piece and can become even more stunning when combined with other furniture pieces. One great way to bring your dining room to life is through sideboards. Its slick contemporary wooden finish will give your room a punch of color that complements your dining room table and chairs. Give your dining area a relaxed and historic feel with this distinctly designed sideboard from the 20th century. At Love Antiques, each piece of antique we offer has its own story to tell. While most sideboards are normally found in dining areas, they can also serve as a focal point to other areas of the house. Just explore your creative side and think of ways how you can incorporate this piece of furniture to your interior space.
A buffet, similarly compared to a sideboard, is a long piece of furniture that's usually placed in dining rooms to serve food during formal dinners or get-togethers. The term buffet was interchangeably used to describe sideboard furniture. They are relatively taller and have longer legs. Aside from being a decorative showpiece, it can also serve as a place to keep your TV. During the Victorian era, sideboards were only obtainable by the upper masses and displayed as a prestigious focal point in their houses. It has distinguishable short legs and cabinets that almost touch the floor.
