By the 1920’s, the decorative arts were changing. The ideals of more ornate periods were maintained and reinterpreted into simpler lines and planes. This sideboard is an interesting transitional piece of furniture, leaning toward the Art Deco, but still incorporating the craftsmanship and detail of the Victorian and Edwardian.
This maple piece comes from England and features a bowed front and scalloped doors with inlays of contrasting wood patterns. While the simple curving lines of the sideboard are uninterrupted, it still features carves and raised ornaments at the centers of each door and flanking the drawers. This nod to the traditional proves that we’re always looking to our artistic roots as we explore new ways of furnishing our homes.
Sitting proudly on turned-bun feet, this sideboard features ample storage and display space. The top is not one flat plane, but rather, lowered in the center for dramatic effect. While wholly 1920’s, it also reminds us that sometimes the old ways are the best.
