Antique Jacobean Revival style mahogany buffet/sideboard produced by the Reaser Furniture Company
The Reaser Furniture Company was established in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in 1907 when Clayton S. Reaser purchased and renamed the Engle Furniture Company. Known for its durable, mass-produced dining room suites and veneer-paneled storage pieces, the factory was a staple of the regional wood manufacturing boom throughout the 1920s and 1930s.
