In the world of English furniture, the Classical style of furniture is referred to as the Regency period. These pedestal-ended sideboards were made in America as well, and they were easy to travel with as the pedestal ends, which have good storage, are detachable.
Most of these sideboards are of very large size and for the purposes of our collection small is better. Further showing an occasional piece of English furniture shows stylistic differences. This is apparent in the style of the black paw foot. One knows right away: it’s English.
This is a compact, five foot wide sideboard with a strong visual presentation. The small size of this sideboard is very desirable as they are usually very long and cumbersome; therefore the few small models bring the highest prices. There is a small grouping of this form, and, for two examples, see Plate 20 and Item 634 in British Antique Furniture, John Andrews. Quality and design are superb, with a sectioned cellaret (see detailed images) on one side and open shelves on another. The feet, and various surfaces are ebonized for detail and the mahogany is strongly figured. This is a very rich-looking serviceable piece that can comfortably fit into many tight places and provide storage without a heavy casepiece look.
