This is a really unusual object from the mid 19th century. It appears to be somewhat of a hybrid cross between a typical buffet and a set of freestanding shelves. Both of these items were of course incredibly popular during the 19th century and remain so to this day. 

Overall the quality is really very good indeed with a great choice of rich, well figured rosewood timbers and the small amount of carved decoration being rich and crisp. The end supports are also incredibly well executed in terms of their shape and therefore the elegance of the piece overall and this is something which really adds to it. 

It is also incredibly functional, boasting three flat surfaces which are of slighty varying sizes and it can be used in both the middle of a room, or to the side against a wall. The fact it is quite shallow makes it even more useful and desirable. 

As with all the objects which we offer for sale it has been inspected by our highly skilled antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish before being offered for sale to ensure that it is in the optimum condition possible and ready for immediate placement. 

This item is incredibly useful and functional and also incredibly elegant. Its certainly something which would add aesthetically to any room which it is placed in, but also it would add great function as well.
