Lincoln Restorations has dated this Victorian Flame Mahogany Sideboard to the 1870s.
An Exceptional Mahogany Sideboard Dating To C1870.
An exceptionally fine quality Victorian Flame Mahogany sideboard, dating to circa 1870. Standing at just 107 cm wide and 43 cm deep, this is an unusually small and remarkably rare example of Victorian cabinetmaking, offering the grandeur of a full-sized sideboard in a compact, highly versatile footprint.
The drawer front is veneered in rich Flame Mahogany and exhibits outstanding craftsmanship, opening smoothly to reveal solid Ash linings with exceptionally fine hand-cut dovetails.
Flanking the drawer are hand-carved acanthus leaf corbels that frame the twin cupboard doors below. The doors feature round-arched Flame Mahogany field panels displaying a striking, symmetrical grain configuration. Inside, the cupboard opens to a clean interior fitted with a single removable shelf, offering ample practical storage despite its rare, small proportions. The doors retain their original, fully operational brass lever lock, original internal latch, and key.
The cabinet rests on a solid crossbanded plinth base supported by four original turned bun feet. The entire piece has been sympathetically restored in our workshop, preserving its authentic patina and character while ensuring the timber displays a deep, warm lustre throughout.
Owing to its unusually petite dimensions, this piece possesses a degree of flexibility rarely found in Victorian furniture. It is perfectly suited for a narrow entrance hall or hallway where a standard sideboard would prove too intrusive, an intimate dining room alcove, a living room, or even a home office or bedroom as an elegant, decorative storage piece. Small, high-quality sideboards from this era are extraordinarily hard to come by, making this a rare find for smaller contemporary spaces.
Please note; This item is in fantastic home ready condition as shown by the photographs below. Being an antique item of this age there are obviously marks, scratches and dents, however, we feel that these points are which adds to its charm and character to a piece.
