1937 CHARAK FEDERAL SERPENTINE SIDEBOARD BUFFET FLAME MAHOGANY FURNITURE

Description: GORGEOUS FEDERALIST STYLE SERPENTINE SIDEBOARD BUFFET FEATURES FLAME MAHOGANY VENEER, SATINWOOD INLAY W/ ROSETTES AND BELLFLOWERS, STAMPED BRASS SCOTCH THISTLE DRAWER PULLS, DARK OLIVE FELT DRAWER LINERS, LOCKING CURVED CABINET DOORS, AND SQUARE TAPERED LEGS. MANUFACTURED BY CHARAK OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, THE LABEL IDENTIFIES IT AS PRODUCED IN 1937, MODEL NUMBER #3920. OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION, A STUNNINGLY ATTRACTIVE PIECE. MOST OF THESE I SEE ARE MODEL #3921 WHICH HAVE THE PLAINER WALNUT OR MAHOGANY WOOD GRAIN VENEER RATHER THAN THE CENTRAL REDDISH FLAME MOTIF AND PLAINER DRAWER HANDLES AND NO LOCKS. THIS ONE WAS A LITTLE COSTLIER FOR IT'S DETAILS- AND AS A RESULT IS MUCH SCARCER- DUE TO THE POST-DEPRESSION ECONOMY, ONLY UPPER CLASS FAMILIES COULD AFFORD IT. THIS ONE'S A REAL EYE-POPPER WITH ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES. IT IS A SIZEABLE AND MAJESTIC PIECE, APPROX. DIMENSIONS ARE: 24" DEEP (2'), 66" LONG (5' 6"), 38" HIGH (3' 2"). THE COLOR OF THE DARK WOOD SEEMS A LITTLE DARKER IN PERSON THAN PHOTOS SHOW, THE CAMERA SHOWS IT A LITTLE BRIGHTER. ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS PERFECT FROM A FEW FEET AWAY, CLOSE INSPECTION SHOWS A FEW MINOR EDGE KNOCKS TO TOP FRONT CENTER EDGE, A FEW STRAY MARKS TO TOP SURFACE, ONE FADED GLASS RING ON TOP CENTER RIGHT SURFACE. THE BRASS DOOR LOCK STRIKER PLATE IS MISSING FROM THE LEFT CABINET DOOR FRAME- AN EASY FIX (THE TEENS MUST HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET AT THE LIQUOR WHILE DAD HAD THE KEY) AND THERE ARE ONLY TWO DRAWERS ON THE RIGHT SIDE, WHERE I BELIEVE THERE WERE ORIGINALLY THREE (CANDLES IN PHOTO NOT INCLUDED). THE ORIGINAL KEY TO THE CABINET DOORS IS INCLUDED, IT WAS IN THE TOP DRAWER NEXT TO THE ORIGINAL LABEL. THIS IS A VERY CLASSY, SPECIAL AND WELL-CARED FOR INVESTMENT PIECE WHICH HAS BEEN IN THE SAME NEW ENGLAND ESTATE FOR MANY YEARS. IT ALWAYS GETS AWED COMMENTS FROM GUESTS AND WOULD IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF ANY FINE HOME. GRAB THIS ONE WHILE YOU CAN- 'CAUSE ONCE IT GOES- IT'S GONE! PICK-UP AT DERBY, CT 10 MINUTES OUTSIDE NEW HAVEN. I CAN BE AVAILABLE TO HELP LOAD THE PIECE ONTO A TRUCK. ALL FURNITURE, JEWELRY, COINS & CURRENCY PICTURED ARE ACTUAL COINS BEING SOLD; ALL COINS AND JEWELRY GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC AS DESCRIBED. ALL ITEMS SOLD AS IS. I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE WINS, IF YOU WAIT FOR MY INVOICE. GOOD LUCK, THANKS FOR BIDDING, AND BE SURE TO CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE GREAT COLLECTIBLE COINS & NEW ENGLAND MEMORABILIA!
