Qing Dynasty Painted Sideboard with Distressed Patina, Three Drawers, Two Doors
Located in Yonkers, NY
A Qing Dynasty period painted sideboard from the 19th century with distressed patina and three drawers over two doors. This Qing Dynasty period painted sideboard from the 19th century is a remarkable piece of historical furniture, showcasing the rich heritage and skilled artistry of its era. The sideboard features a distressed patina, lending it an aura of time-worn elegance and storied past. The wear of the patina adds character and depth, making this piece a striking focal point in any room. Its red lacquer on one side, a traditional Chinese finish, brings a vibrant contrast to the piece's overall muted tones. This touch of color adds an element of surprise and visual interest. The brass hardware on the three drawers over two doors enhances the sideboard's antique charm, providing a beautiful contrast to the distressed wood. The faint hand-painted floral décor, now subtle due to age, adds a delicate and artistic touch to the sideboard, reminiscent of traditional Chinese art. Inside, an inner shelf offers practical storage space, making this piece as functional as it is beautiful. In a modern home, this Qing Dynasty sideboard...

Antique, New and Vintage Sideboards

Once simply boards made of wood that were used to support ceremonial dining, sideboards have taken on much greater importance since their modest first appearance. In Italy, the sideboard was basically a credenza, a solid furnishing with cabinet doors. It was initially intended as an integral piece of any dining room where the wealthy gathered for meals in the southern European country.

Later, in England and France, sideboards retained their utilitarian purpose — a place to keep hot water for rinsing silverware and from which to serve cold drinking water — but would evolve into double-bodied structures that allowed for the display of serveware and utensils on open shelves. We would likely call these buffets, as they’re taller than a sideboard. (Trust us — there is an order to all of this!)

The sideboard is often deemed a buffet in the United States, from the French buffet à deux corps, which referred to a storage and display case. However, a buffet technically possesses a tiered or shelved superstructure for displaying attractive kitchenware and certainly makes more sense in the context of buffet dining — abundant meals served for crowds of people.

An antique or vintage sideboard today is a sophisticated and stylish component in sumptuous dining rooms of every shape, size and decor scheme, as well as a statement of its own, showcased in art galleries and museums. Furniture maker and artist Paul Evans, whose work has been the subject of various celebrated museum exhibitions, created ornamented, welded and patinated sideboards for Directional Furniture, collections such as the Cityscape series that speak to his place in revolutionary brutalist furniture design as much as they echo the origins of these sturdy, functional structures centuries ago.

If mid-century modern sideboards are more to your liking than an 18th-century mahogany sideboard with decorative inlays by Hepplewhite, the particularly elegant pieces crafted by designers Hans Wegner, Edward Wormley or Florence Knoll are often sought by today’s collectors.

Whether you have a specific era or style in mind or you’re open to browsing a vast collection to find the right fit, 1stDibs has a variety of antique, new and vintage sideboards to choose from.
