Question
We have an old buffet in our family and would liket o know it's approx. worth. Right now, I know very little about it. It stands about 4 ft. tall with the back another foot or so high. and is approx. 3 12-4 feet across. It has small and large drawers and the finish is dark. I know this is very vague, but if there is any other way to describe this to you ,please let me know. THank you. BJ Reames
Hi BJ
Nice to hear from you.
There is no way I could even hazard a guess without seeing at least a picture.
If you can get one let me know.
In the meantime search the link below to see if there is anything there that resembles yours.

Expertise
I can answer most questions about the repairing and refinishing of all your old furniture items (the things we call antiques). I can also give you advice on what wood items to choose and what wood items to avoid at auctions, flea markets etc. I DO NOT give appraisals on antiques as this is not my field of expertise.
Experience
I have been repairing, refinishing and of course buying old furniture for the past 30 years. On any given weekend I can be found at auction sales or flea markets searching out a good buy. I have taken several courses in this area over the years, but I find "Hands On" learning to be the best teacher. I can help you avoid the pitfalls and problems of this wonderful rewarding craft.
