It usually consists of a set of cabinets or cupboards and one or more drawers; all topped by a flat display surface for conveniently holding food, serving dishes, or lighting devices. The overall height of the tops of most sideboards is approximately waist level. The words sideboard and buffet are somewhat interchangeable, but if the item has short legs, or a base that sits directly on the floor with no legs, it is more likely to be called a sideboard; if it has longer legs it is more likely to be called a buffet. The earliest versions of the sideboard familiar today made their appearance in the 18th century, but they gained most of their popularity during the 19th century as households became prosperous enough to dedicate a room solely to dining. This was especially true in the Victorian era as entertaining ones friends and associates was often done in dedicated rooms. Sideboards were made in a range of decorative styles and were frequently ornamented with costly veneers and inlays. In later years, sideboards have been placed in living rooms or other areas where household items might be displayed. Antique sideboards in formal dining rooms today In traditional formal dining rooms today, an antique sideboard is a desirable and stylishly fashionable accessory and finely made versions from the late 18th or early 19th centuries are often the most desirable and sought-after and, subsequently, often command the highest price. Some of the earliest production of (now) antique sideboards arose in England, France, Belgium and Scotland. Later, American designs did arise and had a unique style of their own. Characteristic materials used in historic sideboard manufacture include mahogany, oak, pine and walnut. Mid-Century Modern sideboards however are often constructed of teak or rosewood and are typically of a sleeker design indicative of the mid-20th century.
