Handcrafted, with the panels molded using hand tools.

The frame is entirely in solid walnut, assembled with wooden pegs.

The walnut top has been replaced and is secured with wrought iron nails.

Two doors mounted on original black wrought iron hinges. They close with a latch, but the lock is not functional.

The interior contains two solid wood shelves.
Similar carved decorations adorn the upper and lower friezes: a heart within a frame.
The lower frieze is scalloped.
Simple, straight legs; a restoration is visible on the front legs, which have been raised.
The piece has been cleaned and sanitized, preserving its patina. This sideboard is suitable for everyday use.
Shelves: 96 x 45 cm. See less
