The warm fruitwood finish is accented by molded door panels and unusually decorative brass fittings, including the large circular medallion spanning the central double doors.

Three drawers provide convenient upper storage, while four lower doors open to generous cabinet compartments with shelving. The long, relatively low profile makes the piece particularly versatile as a dining-room buffet, living-room credenza, entry console or sophisticated media cabinet.

Century used proportion, paneled construction and beautifully designed hardware to give the cabinet its character. Brass-capped feet provide a final subtle detail.

JUNE'S THOUGHTS
I especially like the contrast between the clean lines of the cabinet and the decorative brass fittings. The circular hardware is what makes this piece memorable. I can see it in a dining room beneath a favorite painting, where it provides wonderful storage and a generous surface for serving when family and friends gather.
