About the Item

This exquisite sideboard, crafted circa 1790, exemplifies the elegance of the Hepplewhite style, renowned for its graceful lines and refined inlay work. Constructed from mahogany with a satinwood veneer and tulipwood inlay, the piece showcases a harmonious blend of exotic woods, offering both aesthetic appeal and durability. The serpentine front is a hallmark of Hepplewhite design complemented by a brass gallery and integrated candelabra, featuring arms adorned with acanthus leaves and floral motifs. These elements enhance the sideboard's visual appeal and reflect its historical function in dining rooms for serving and illumination. The facade includes two doors flanking a central drawer, each adorned with tulipwood border inlays and a central satinwood circle. The brass handles feature a geometric design that complements the inlay work. The central drawer is highlighted by an oval satinwood inlay, with a seashell motif beneath, a common symbol of good fortune in fine furniture of the period. Supported by six Marlborough legs with spade feet, the sideboard beautifully balances its straight lines with the graceful curves of its body, creating a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing design. This piece exemplifies the superb craftsmanship of late 18th-century England, making it ideal for a prominent display in a dining room. Surface Height= 36 in. Total Height including the Brass Back=59 in. W= 58 in. D= 26 in. 97 lbs.
