What wood are Art Deco sideboards usually made from?

Walnut dominates, named in about a third of titles, with burr walnut a strong sub-group and figured walnut alongside it. The veneer normally sits over an oak carcase. Oak is the next material, taking in golden, limed and cerused finishes. Beyond that there are smaller numbers in maple, elm, macassar and rosewood.

Why are so many dated 1930?

The dated field is disciplined but rounded. Nearly all listings carry a clean year, and almost all of those are 1920, 1930 or 1940 rather than a precise date. Only one listing names an exact year, 1925. Treat a 1930 date as a decade bracket, and note that the 1930s account for the bulk of the category.

Do these sideboards have drinks compartments?

Fitted drinks compartments recur throughout, and two cabinets are described as electric. Some pieces are sold outright as cocktail or drinks cabinets under this heading. The cocktail strand is small in the archive but larger in current stock, and titles combining sideboard with a drinks fitting sit in the upper half of the range.

Are French Art Deco sideboards different?

The Continental strand shows up as buffets, enfilades and commodes, often with a marble top and sometimes bronze mounts. Marble tops belong almost entirely to this group. English pieces, by contrast, lean on burr and figured walnut and cabinetmaker work. Signed French designer pieces in marquetry and parquetry hold the top of the category.

How many come up for sale each year?

Around twenty come to market in a year on Sellingantiques, listed by forty-six different dealers over time, so no one dealer sets the tone of the category. Titles are often bare. Dozens read simply 'Art Deco Sideboard' with nothing on wood, size or maker.

Which unusual pieces turn up under this heading?

Oddities pass through. An aluminium 'aviator' sideboard, a lacquered chinoiserie drinks cabinet, a fossil-marble-topped commode and a matched pair of console tables have all been listed. Single-appearance origins include one Italian piece, a Parisian macassar cabinet and two Swedish cabinets in birds-eye maple and satin birch.
