Description

Black walnut sideboard. The top overhangs the front and sides and is finished with crown molding underneath. Below the molding are two sets of drawers, that sit flush with the frame and are the approximate depth of the sideboard. Each drawer has two door pulls, which are stepped and circular. The drawers are dovetailed on the inside. The drawers sit on top of a cupboard which is set back slightly. The cupboard has two doors with the same pulls as the drawers. The doors have recessed panels with a rounded molding along the inside edge. This treatment is used on the sides of the sideboard as well. The piece has bracket feet and has been varnished on the outside.
