Here is a majestic sideboard made from solid walnut by the first half of the 19th century and originally from Lyon. Such piece is commonly called "Dressoir" by the French which must not be confused with "Vaisselier" as such piece usually belonged to wealthy family whom used it to display silverware. Some of those pieces are sometime more than 12" tall. The bigger it is the richer the family was. This handsome piece features a tall upper shelf mounted by a boldly sculpted broken segmental arch centering a finial upon 2 small shelves below supported by bracket and large turned and fluted columns standing above the bottom buffet offering a 2-drawer frieze upon a pair of recessed paneled doors accented with geometrical molding. The interior compartment features a single adjustable shelf. Note that hardware is in original condition. Circa date 1820. Dimensions 94"high/ 62"wide/ 22"deep.
