Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE GEORGIAN ERA:
Barber-pole and chevron banding: decorative inlay favoured in the 1790s.
Oak-lined cellarette with bottle dividers: standard dining practice of the late 18th century.
Square tapering legs ending in spade feet: cabinet work in the Sheraton taste.
Stamped brass backplates with floral centres: metalwork of the late Georgian period.
Fine shrinkage lines across the curved veneer: wood drying and moving over two centuries.

This George III Sheraton period mahogany demi-lune sideboard dates from the late 18th century. The half-round form combines warm brown timber with satinwood cross-banding, ebony and boxwood stringing, and chequer strung inlaid detail. Fitted with a combination of drawers and cupboards, the structure includes a central drawer and curved side doors. Detailed cast gilt-brass drop handles furnish the exterior alongside working locks, keys, and escutcheons. The piece stands on square tapering legs with chevron cross-banding and chequer inlay, terminating in elongated spade feet. Minor shrinkage cracks appear on the veneer of the end bow doors. Measuring 97 cm high, 188 cm wide, and 81 cm deep, the furniture piece provides practical storage combined with ample surface depth and width for use as a serving table within dining spaces or entrance halls.

FAQs

A Sheraton period demi-lune sideboard is defined by its semi-circular form, balanced proportions, and neoclassical influence popular in late 18th-century Britain. Typically crafted with slender tapered legs and decorative wood inlays, these pieces served both storage and serving functions in formal dining rooms.

Primary construction comprised high-grade flame mahogany, often decorated with satinwood or boxwood stringing and crossbanding. Drawer linings were typically made of oak or pine, fitted with stamped brass drop or ring handles.

Authentic 18th-century pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brassware with natural patination, and secondary woods showing age-appropriate shrinking or oxidisation. The underside and back panels display hand-sawn timber marks rather than machine-cut finishes.

Position the curved piece against a prominent hallway or dining wall to maximise space without obstructing traffic. Pair the warm mahogany timber with neutral wall tones, contemporary artwork above, or minimalist ceramic table lamps.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent drying or fading of the veneer. Apply beeswax polish along the wood grain twice yearly, and dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth.
