{"product_id":"early-20th-century-reverse-glass-painted-buffet-cabinet","title":"Early 20th Century Reverse Glass Painted Buffet Cabinet","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 44-inch wide buffet is a standout piece of British Colonial craftsmanship, featuring a rare whitewashed teak frame. The architectural highlight is the set of four hand-painted reverse glass panels (known as \u003ci\u003eVerre Églomisé\u003c\/i\u003e) flanking the central doors. These panels depict vibrant, polychrome floral bouquets that provide a brilliant contrast to the soft, bleached patina of the wood. The cabinet features three top utility drawers with original brass shell-pull hardware and a two-door glass-front lower compartment for larger storage. Reverse glass painting was a highly specialized trade in 19th-century India, often used to decorate the homes of the wealthy and elite. By painting the motif on the back of the glass, the colors remain vivid and protected from the elements. This specific buffet combines that traditional artistry with the utilitarian \"pantry\" style of colonial-era furniture, making it a functional piece of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bleached whitewash finish and colorful glass panels make this buffet an ideal choice for a sun-drenched dining room or a curated entry. At 35 inches high, it is the perfect \"height-level\" surface for a coffee bar or TV cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: Antique\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Size: 44“(L) x 18.5“(D) x 35.5“(H)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Material: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSolid Teak; Hand-Painted Glass Panels; Brass Hardware\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Color: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eWhitewashed \/ Bleached Patina\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Features: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e3 Drawers; 2 Glass Doors; 4 Reverse-Painted Floral Panels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Style: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBritish Colonial \/ Reverse Glass Painted\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Origin: India\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eExcellent antique condition; original glass panels are intact with beautiful historic pigment; smooth drawer and door operation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e(Requires White Glove Delivery)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e**Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42359029792850,"sku":"IMG_9618","price":2645.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1798\/8979\/files\/IMG_9619_4da35be7-fe08-49b1-b448-fcf315f9da14.jpg?v=1775164578","url":"https:\/\/farmhousekitchenandbath.com\/products\/early-20th-century-reverse-glass-painted-buffet-cabinet","provider":"Farmhouse Kitchen and Bath","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
