Craftsmanship from 100+ years ago: 4 antique sideboards, 4 styles

Newly consigned, antique sideboards. These glorious, solid wood pieces, were crafted over 100 years ago. They may have been designed for the dining room, but are stunning as dressers, entry pieces, tv consoles, or kitchen units.

   

(1) French or Belgian mahogany buffet, circa 1890. Beautiful piece with lush but subtle acanthus-motif. 60" x 22" x 37" tall.

Original hardware, with one handle needing repair. Top surface has crack. More photos of this piece can be seen in this online gallery.

(2) A "restoration opportunity", circa 1890 Eastlake-style sideboard with mirrored candle-stands. 57" wide and about 6.5' tall.

Original hardware, classic "Eastlake" carving. Beautiful, and overall, in good condition. Notable need for work on the buffet surface.

I wish I could show you a flower bed out front, but not yet. Although Pamela is in the middle of doing a folk art painting of flowers and birds on a chunky coffee table out on the sidewalk, I can only show you this "before" photo:
