Painted Buffet 17th Century Provenance Prof Dr José Hermano Saraiva

About the Item

A seventeenth-century buffet with traces of old painting, from the private collection of Professor José Herman Saraiva, would be a piece of antique furniture of Portuguese origin, dating from the seventeenth century and that presents indications of ancient painting on its surface. Professor José Herman Saraiva is a figure known for his academic work and the private collection he owned. The term "buffet" refers to a type of furniture used to store tableware, such as cutlery, plates, glasses, among others, and that can have a decorative function in the dining room or other areas of the house. Seventeenth-century buffets often feature design features and woodworking techniques of the time, such as elaborate carvings, turned feet, carved wood details, and metal handles, among other decorative elements. The presence of traces of old paint on the surface of the buffet may indicate that the piece was originally painted or lacquered, which was common in antique furniture for wood protection or aesthetic purposes. The old paint may have been applied in one or more layers, and the remaining traces may bring information about the original color palette and the style of painting used at the time. Pieces like this seventeenth-century buffet with traces of old painting from the private collection of Professor José Herman Saraiva are considered collector's items for antique enthusiasts, history lovers and antique furniture aficionados. They can be found in private collections, museums or at auctions of art and antiquities, being appreciated for their authenticity, historical value and connection to the provenance of a renowned figure.
