A most attractive late Georgian walnut sideboard with two drawers over turned and pegged legs united by finely turned stretchers and inset with a central solid walnut carved panel which dates from the early 1600s.
The sideboard is principally early 19th century but with this earlier carved panel intentionally incorporated and set with pegged tenons into the frame.
Heavy and robust, with a good warm colour and fielded finished back panels – allowing it to be set in the centre of a room and viewed from all sides if required.
The brass drop handles are original, drawer linings are oak.
There is a smattering of old worm holes to the carved panel, some old worm tracks and losses to the bottom of the back feet and here and there to the stretchers – all long since treated and dead and not affecting structure.
The sideboard / dresser is solid, heavy and very robust, the drawers open and close smoothly.
The stretchers and legs have been very carefully turned and each section m
...atches its partner yet contains different elements, displaying the turners skills at creating bobbins, reels, vases and cups from a single post of solid timber.
The top with twin walnut boards and hand carved shaped border with some fading.
Very beautiful and practical with small bruises, scuffs and dings consistent with age and caring use.
I describe and photograph my pieces accurately and with the aim that on arrival each will exceed expectations.
