Sideboard In Thuya Burl, Napoleon III Period - Mid-19th Century

This piece of furniture with movement on its three visible sides opens with a central door. Its blackened wooden frame is mitred, and the center is speckled with cedar burl. A thin beaded strip emphasizes the junction between the two species, and shell and bronze spandrels adorn the corners. This door closes with an original brass lock, with bronze key. The projecting front uprights are covered with large gilt bronze drops in the upper parts, and more modest ones in the lower part. Here we also find cedar burl, surrounded by a brass net, on a black background. The white Carrara marble top follows the shape of the furniture. The perimeter is molded with groove and beak of corbin. The belt is made up of cedar burl elements surrounded by beaded brass rods. It is surmounted by a gadrooned bronze molding following the lines of the top. The movement sides are in the same taste, the same workmanship, and made of the same wood species. The base, called plinth, is overflowing. Speckled elements in cedar burl and beaded bronze decorate it. The center is embellished with an important rounded bronze, perforated with leaves. The interiors of the door and storage spaces are in mahogany veneer. The shelves are adjustable since placed on racks, and with blackened edges. This Napoleon III sideboard, rich in its decorations, is perfect for furnishing a living room or an entrance hall. Its brown, black and gold colors meet current decoration codes.
