    I just bought this beautiful piece and I am really curious as to what it was originally used for. The glass cabinet has a separate key from the drawers. It looks like the top 2 drawers used to have green felt lining.

      I would call it a buffet cabinet/ China Cabinet . I have seen this style more often as a secretary desk but yours with felt lining in drawers sounds like place for silver ware so in a dining room . Very Nice !!

      I think Manikin is right on, with this. Buffet, or Sideboard for use in a Dining room. From the Golden Oak period, 1890's - 1920's. I understand your frustration with the pictures, as I am having the same problem when posting. Wish we would here from CW staff on solving this problem.

      I don't crop my photo's to be square and they are never sideways ?

      You don't need to crop pictures. The main issue is what you took it with. If you took it and post it from a cell phone etc. chances are it will pop up here side ways. If you dump it to a computer then rotate it for proper orientation then be sure to save it, then post it, it will be right. I have taken pictures with phones, digital camera and scanned them and never crop them. When you start talking square shape you are thinking Pixels not pictures. Rectangular pixels do get cropped automatically because computers and printers only understand or interpret square pixels. As an example, open a picture in windows paint and zoom in. You will see that every pixel is square, never a rectangle. That applies only to pixels and not to the entire image. Kodak was the first to develop a digital camera that would shoot and capture an image with square pixels a computer would not alter. The reason being if the pixels were cropped and the image was presented as evidence in a court of law....the image was no good if the pixels were cropped from rectangle to square. This was quite an issue during the early 90's when police started using digital cameras for crime scenes.
