The gently serpentine front is elegantly proportioned with a shaped central drawer flanked by two banks of drawers, all fitted with original brass ring handles.

The top follows the serpentine outline and is fitted with its original brass gallery rail supported on turned uprights adding both visual balance and period character. Internally, the drawers retain their original fitted divisions reflecting the quality of manufacture and practical design associated with Edwardian cabinetmaking.

The sideboard stands on square tapering legs contributing to its light and graceful appearance while the warm colour and well-developed patina enhance the overall presentation. A versatile and elegant piece, equally suited to a dining room, hallway, or as a statement sideboard in a traditional or transitional interior.

Condition

In good antique condition. The drawers run well, the brass rail and handles are original and the piece remains structurally sound throughout.
