Details

An Italian walnut ebonized and parcel gilt serpentine fronted sideboard with carved giltwood and composition terminals. The molded top with segmented burl walnut veneers sits above three drawers flanked by a pair of doors and with a molded apron, on foliate scroll cabriole legs ending in scroll feet. This sideboard buffet would originally have formed part of a fashionable suite of matching dining room furniture. The carved gilt details may also include composition that has the appearance of carved wood. It provided an economic process for the manufacturer to provide consistent perfect decorative details at economic costs. It is loosely inspired in style by eighteenth century furniture and appears to be of European Italian manufacture. Much love, time and effort were used to restore and refinish this stately piece. Products used in the refinishing were Amy Howard One Step Paint in Black, Light wax, Dark wax, Copper wax, and gold wax. There are even some wormholes which adds to the beautiful history of this piece.
