About the Item
This exquisite sideboard, crafted circa 1790, exemplifies the elegance of the Hepplewhite style, renowned for its graceful lines and refined inlay work. Constructed from mahogany with a satinwood veneer and tulipwood inlay, the piece showcases a harmonious blend of exotic woods, offering both aesthetic appeal and durability.
The serpentine front is a hallmark of Hepplewhite design complemented by a brass gallery and integrated candelabra, featuring arms adorned with acanthus leaves and floral motifs. These elements enhance the sideboard's visual appeal and reflect its historical function in dining rooms for serving and illumination.
The facade includes two doors flanking a central drawer, each adorned with tulipwood border inlays and a central satinwood circle. The brass handles feature a geometric design that complements the inlay work. The central drawer is highlighted by an oval satinwood inlay, with a seashell motif beneath, a common symbol of good fortune in fine furniture of the period.
Supported by six Marlborough legs with spade feet, the sideboard beautifully balances its straight lines with the graceful curves of its body, creating a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing design. This piece exemplifies the superb craftsmanship of late 18th-century England, making it ideal for a prominent display in a dining room.

Early George III Mahogany Serpentine Bachelor
s Chest With Brushing Slide
Located in Chicago, IL
The George III design, named after the English monarch, is characterized by clean lines and high-quality wood. This Circa 1760 chest is crafted entirely from mahogany, featuring three graduated drawers lined with white pine. The drawer fronts are veneered in flame mahogany and adorned with their original brass handles.
Many craftsmen favored mahogany for its durability and rich coloring. Given the expense of procuring mahogany, items made from this wood were typically intended for affluent buyers.
Petite chests like this one often include a discreet brushing slide at the top, which pulls out with a small brass knob to reveal a surface for laying out clothes to be brushed before wearing. These gentleman’s chests, introduced as 'dressing chests,' are the historical precursors to ‘bachelor’s chests.’ Additional features include vertical side trim with swirling vine motifs and acanthus leaves emerging from carved canted corners, as well as bracket feet.
Overall, this is a stunning chest that fits seamlessly into any room and serves multiple purposes: as a bedroom dresser, bathroom or hallway commode, or dining room...
