Its bold proportions are enhanced by deeply carved acanthus leaf columns and paw feet, hallmark features of the Empire style that flourished between 1820 and 1840. The flame mahogany veneers ripple across the front in symmetrical patterns, lending dramatic movement and depth to its polished surface.

Purportedly from the Cleveland mansion of John D. Rockefeller, this piece carries an air of American industrial and social history. The craftsmanship speaks to an era when cabinetmakers combined artistry with functionality, resulting in furniture that was both architectural and elegant. The drawers retain their original wooden knobs, and the overall presence of the piece reflects stately refinement and permanence.

In nice antique condition consistent with age and use, the finish shows some light wear but remains warm and lustrous. A true statement piece, this sideboard anchors a dining room or grand entryway with commanding beauty and historic resonance — a rare opportunity to own a piece connected to one of America’s most storied families. 45h x 75w x 25d counter height 38 See less
