20th Century Art Nouveau Mahogany Buffet by H. Bäck, Austria, 1910s

Beautiful early 20th century Art Nouveau buffet/ cabinet out of Austria made by the renowed company of Viennesse cabinetmaker Heinrich Bäck around 1910. The lower part provides two doors, both adorned by a fantastic looking inlayed patterns as well as a two drawers. A slightly pink/ orange shining marple plate on top and the still original facet cut mirror plate (showing aging spots/ slight scratches) in the back gives this matchless 20th century buffet a matchless appearance. The attached upper part with two facet cut glass panelled doors floats on four beautiful carved solid wooden columns, all additionally edged by polished brass applications. Two smaller compartments – veneered in fine birds eye maple – appear behind these lovely worked doors that can be wide opened. Another great highlight is the delicate silver coated floral design on the glass panels. Elaborately made brass fittings and a brass strip around the bottom edge completes the incredible look this lovely antique Art Nouveau buffet. Definitely an artfully crafted cabinet from the world-famous Art Nouveau period in Vienna.
