Cuban Mahogany Port Sideboard, Louis XV – 18th Century

This piece of port furniture from the Nantes region, in solid Cuban mahogany, has three doors on the front, two of which open to the right and one to the left. These are mounted on brass overhang plugs and fitted with working locks and genuine keys with brass rear latch entries. Each of these doors is dark with a single seamless panel and has a knockout miter cut edge, revealing an animated grooved molding on the inside. The crosspiece is cut into scrolls wrapping at the ends on the bottom of the legs. The half-round uprights, with knockouts, end in humped snail feet. The sides are also dark with a seamless panel with cut-out top crosspiece and molding on the crosspieces and feet. The interior offers three partitioned spaces, each offering a mahogany-fronted drawer fitted with a falling gilded bronze handle as well as a shelf with an animated edge.

This port sideboard will appeal to lovers of art furniture with its manufacturing quality and quality woods. ******** Period: 18th Century Excellent condition. Later restoration of the marble.
