Description
This original, vintage sideboard is ‘sold as seen’. Overall it is in very good, used condition. The piece has been cleaned, inside and out, and a natural beeswax polish applied and buffed on the external surfaces, but otherwise the finish is original. The three, centred ‘beehive’ drawers slide with ease, have clean interiors and are well-made with dovetail joins. The top drawer is sectioned and green felt-lined for cutlery. The left hand cupboard features a fall door and internal shelf, designed for bottles. The right hand cupboard features a recessed shelf which can be removed. All hinges, closures and handles are in very good order and both cupboards have clean, tidy interiors with just light signs of use. There are light marks and dents here and there on the exterior wood surfaces, very minor signs of use in line with its age. There are some small superficial blemishes on the top surface – we’ve shown these in our photos and in the overall context of the piece they are not particularly noticeable. It’s an expertly crafted piece of furniture, very well-made, thoughtfully designed and sturdy. There is no maker’s stamp but this is a well-documented Morris of Glasgow piece that we attribute with 100% confidence.
