Sideboard

anonymous, c. 1780 - c. 1795

This sideboard is largely veneered with keranji, a tropical wood from Indonesia that was rarely exported to Europe. It was chosen for its striking dark grain, which is the result of a decaying process. When the top of the sideboard is raised, shelves appear on which glasses and other such objects can be placed.
