1920s Jacobean Buffet

Estate Sale Find ~ This stunning rare, ornate 100-year-old Jacobean sideboard was meticulously hand painted with Riverbed, Burlap, and Warm Glow (cream) Chalk Paints. The details were enhanced with Modern Masters Champagne Metallic. The top was sanded down before we applied three coats of Chocolate Gel Stain. The corners of the buffet have been highlighted with Antique Brown Wax. The front, sides, and top were sealed with two coats of a matte clear topcoat for protection. The drawers were re-stained with Brown Antique Wax and the two dovetailed utensil drawers have been relined with faux marble liner. The larger top middle drawer has a surprise hand painted “French Bakery” stencil inside. The two cabinets each have one removable shelf. The original hardware teardrop style has been spruced up with a kiss of Modern Masters Champagne Metallic. The back of the buffet is marked with the numbers “375.”
