Probably 1930`s or 40`s !!  I was thinking liquor cabinet but after looking at it a while,, I am not sure !!  Has anyone seen anything similar ??

Looks like it might be a “married” piece to me.

A sideboard with stretcher base and a 3-shelf cabinet on top.

Thats what I thought at first,,think I will ask for more pics !!  The depth of the drawer in front did not look like a sideboard/buffet/server to me !!  Normally there would be shallow drawers in the center for silverware,,napkins ect !!  But that depth would be good for liquor bottles with glassware in the top, !!  But the mixing station on the sides would be unusual !!
And the wood matched,, married pieces usually wind up  painted to hide different wood types  !!

I think Cogar is right....it's a marriage. I know the wood looks like a match, but I think the lines indicate.....matrim ony :)

It could have been two pieces from an original matched set that were combined. The legs/base taken off a china closet and the top placed on the sideboard?

Just was able to open the pics.  From the style on the top and the style on the bottom pieces =  looks like a married piece!
