The upper section is centred by a large bevel-edged mirror set within an elegantly shaped oak surround. A useful display shelf provides additional space for decorative objects, while the sculptural outline of the superstructure gives the sideboard considerable architectural presence. The lower section incorporates two central drawers, each retaining its original brass handles and fittings. Beneath is a generously proportioned double-door cupboard opening to reveal a single internal shelf, providing substantial concealed storage for tableware, linens or other household items. Subtle carved detailing appears throughout the piece, adding decorative interest while allowing the natural beauty of the oak to remain prominent. The sideboard is raised upon traditional bracket feet, providing a strong and well-balanced foundation for its substantial proportions. The solid oak displays pronounced natural grain and attractive figuring throughout, complemented by rich, warm tones and an appealing aged patina. Very well constructed and presented in very good antique condition, with appropriate signs of age and use consistent with its early 20th-century origin. For easier transportation and installation, the sideboard separates into two principal sections. Standing an impressive 204 cm high and 138.5 cm wide, this is a substantial statement piece combining generous storage, display space and decorative presence. Ideally suited to a dining room, drawing room or traditional country-house interior. Dimensions: Height: 204 cm Width: 138.5 cm Depth: 49.5 cm Worktop Height: 92.5 cm See less
