Impressive Quality Antique Carved Oak Sideboard
An impressive and richly carved Antique oak sideboard displaying strong late 19th-century craftsmanship and presence. The piece features a well-figured solid oak top above a pair of frieze drawers each retaining their original drop handles set within a deeply carved apron adorned with scrolling foliate motifs.
Below, two substantial panelled cupboard doors open to reveal generous storage space. Each door is centred with a bold carved mask motif framed by geometric moulded panels creating a striking architectural appearance. The sides and front are further enhanced with finely carved pilasters incorporating stylised faces and classical detailing, all standing on a solid moulded plinth base.
The rich patination and warm colour of the oak emphasise the quality of the carving and give the piece a strong decorative impact making it ideal for use as a statement sideboard, server or hall piece in both traditional and eclectic interiors.
Condition Report
