This is a great example of an English William IV Pedestal Sideboard, made circa 1830. It is made of Mahogany and Crotch Mahogany. The wood is of the finest quality and has wonderful movement throughout the grain. There is a pedestal on both right and left sides that support the sideboard. The left pedestal opens to reveal a deep Wine Drawers over storage. The right pedestal opens to reveal storage over 3 pull out slides. There are 2 drawers to the middle between the pedestals. The top has a large and wonderful molded edge. Both pedestals have Gadrooned Carvings on the top and bottom of the door panel. There is a beaded carved molding right and left of each door panel and in the middle of the drawers. The sideboard is clean and sound in both physical condition and in the original finish. The brass Handkerchief Rail to the back is very unusual and very beautiful. On the right side of the sideboard there is a secret cupboard door for storing and or hiding things. It measures 90 1/2 in. wide x 27 in. deep x 36 in. tall ( to the serving surface ) and 48 in. tall ( to the top of the brass gallery ).
