How do I identify a Georgian piece?

Georgian pieces generally exhibit solid mahogany construction with hand-cut dovetails and period brass hardware. Later Edwardian and twentieth-century revivals often incorporate machine-cut elements and lighter satinwood inlays.

What is the difference between a sideboard and a chest?
