Sideboards
An antique sideboard can come in a variety of different shapes and styles and have a great many different names for the different sorts. Try not to be daunted when someone refers to a buffet when you asked for a sideboard, or a consul table when you asked for a serving table - too confusing! Best to stick to the basics, work out the size and the function of the sideboard you need first. Many antique sideboards are quite deep front to back for instance, but oak dressers or mahogany chiffoniers are not. Then work out the detail; should the piece have nice elegant legs or is cupboard space required? Remember to check other sections of this site for items that may fit the bill (such as serving tables and chiffoniers), but in any event call or email us so we can discuss all the options whether we have one in stock or not!

Lovely quality Regency mahogany sideboard, with three drawers above three cupboards, the fronts all made of the most excellent flame mahogany. The format and scale of this sideboard is extremely rare for the period as it is both narrow in depth and also has a lot of cupboard space though it was made during a period when legs were more fashionable than cupboards for a sideboard (but much less useful!). It is pictured here in the state we found it pre-restoration in wonderful original condition. English c.1820. £3,800
