circa: 2000 width: 84 height: 41 length: 22 This exquisite serpentine sideboard was recently handmade by a third-generation English cabinetmaker as a reproduction of a neoclassical Georgian antique. The principle wood is a rich flame mahogany, which is treated to an elaborate finishing process that ended in a fine coat of hand-rubbed wax. Along with the solid brass hardware, satinwood banding around the top and face complements the mahogany beautifully, while the serpentine shape itself is quite striking. The drawer and two cabinet doors lock with an accompanying set of keys, so you can store your things securely. Of course, because this sideboard is English-made by hand, it is remarkably sturdy, and the drawer features hand-cut dovetails, while the firm square tapered legs will keep this piece standing for generations to come.
