Potthast Brothers American Federal Style Mahogany Sideboard

$6,110List Price

About the Item

This is an exquisite reproduction antique sideboard by the Potthast Brothers furniture firm, established in the mid 19th century and renowned for their exceptional quality and benchmade construction. This is a very fine example, quite angular with clean undistracted lines. A single drawer in the center retains it's original stamped brass bail pulls, opening to reveal a felt upholstered interior (remaining in excellent condition) and the Potthast branding. The drawer is hand dovetailed along the front and back corners, the bottom of the drawer machine chamfered along the edges and set in grooves with small supporting blocks. Beneath the drawer are a pair of cupboard doors, opening to reveal a shelved interior. This is flanked by full height cupboard doors on the right and left, each veneered with vibrant crotch-mahogany. Each leg is inlaid with a complex patera oval with rectangular double-stringer inlays over the hanging bellflowers that flow down the tapered leg. These terminate in perfect spade feet. Works by the Potthast Brothers are broadly regarded as "tomorrow's antiques", crafted to last the test of time both structurally and stylistically - the classical form of the present example is timeless, as this style has been cherished for two hundred years. This fine American Federal Style sideboard will certainly be the statement piece of any formal dining room. Measurements: 63 1/8" W x 22 3/4" D x 39 1/4" H to top of surface 44 7/8" H to top of backsplash Condition Report: Top with some scratches and abrasions, a few rather faint heat rings with some other light discoloration. Surface of the case with only minor dings, scratches and abrasions, these clearly depicted in the slideshow. Chips along edge of backsplash with some faint varnish speckling (we attempted to show this with one shot of the backsplash from the side - only visible from certain angles and certain lighting, but noted regardless). Overall in outstanding condition. Original key included. We have 42 detailed images of this sideboard available on our primary website - a link is available upon request.

American Grain-Painted Corner Cabinet Cupboard, New England, circa 1805

Located in Shippensburg, PA

An incredibly fine one-piece corner cupboard formerly acquired at Sotheby's in 2013 for $ 15,000. The original and beautifully worn surface is incredibly lively with a rich texture in the symmetrical brush strokes with the natural rubbing through the paint from over two-hundred years of gentle handling. It is crafted in one piece from pine primary woods and poplar secondary woods and features a nine-light glazed upper door with beautifully molded astragals that opens with a replaced brass knob to reveal an interior divided with two fixed shelves. The lower portion of the cabinet is missing its knob and opens to reveal the single shelf that evenly divides out the space. And most attractive is the size, which is delightfully diminutive and allows it to be a part of any space without overwhelming the interior. An untouched treasure.
