Federal Hepplewhite Mahogany Inlaid Sideboard

#9514FP. Circa 1790. Baltimore. This swell-front Hepplewhite sideboard is mahogany and high figured mahogany with satinwood and ebony inlay and poplar and pine secondary woods. The distinctive and unusual inlay designs included barber pole, arrow, diamond patterns and string. The piece has lots of storage capacity with one wide center drawer, one deep end drawer, two candle drawers, two wine drawers (with dividers), two end drawers (lined with felt), and two large cabinet spaces behind two center doors and one end door. The oval brass pulls appear to be period and original. This sideboard has all the attributes of the work of an excellent Baltimore cabinetmaker. Condition: excellent - wear consistent with age and use. Minor old and new repairs. Some small dents in oval pulls. Very minor veneer losses. Possibly some restoration to center drawer. Candle drawer knobs are replacements. The French polish finish was cleaned and augmented around 75 years ago. 77" wide x 41.75" tall x 28" deep. $8,500.00.
