It features a central stack of four drawers flanked by tall locking glass door display cabinets. The lined silverware drawers highlight the high-end utility common in 1930s Art Deco sideboards. Each drawer is custom fitted with tarnish resistant felt cloth designed to organize a comprehensive formal dining silverware set.

Notable details within each drawer layout include:
Dedicated labels: Each label identifies specific locations for cutlery pieces like "FISH EATERS" (for formal fish knives and forks) and "SOUP SPOONS."
Slot racks: Vertically slotted wooden racks keep individual flatware items neatly held in place and separated to protect the metal from scratching.
Cabinet integration: The outer drawer front showcases the original bookmatched burl walnut veneer finish paired with carved stepped bone or Bakelite pulls and integrated locks. The locks on each cabinet door are fully operable.
With its dramatic U-shaped bridge design, this versatile piece makes a commanding focal point for a formal dining room, refined entryway or sophisticated living space. See less
