Sideboard
« on: December 06, 2012, 03:29:17 pm »
Good evening all.

I have absolutely no idea about 1) antiques 2) furniture.  I work in IT and am 25 years old so I am hoping someone could help me with a piece of furniture I have.

As you can see from the pictures its a side board.  Its fairly chunky and carved. 

Anyway, ill let the experts take a look and maybe you could tell me what you think?

Thanks in advanced for your time

Looks like another eclectic sideboard with craftsman and Jacobean influences. Probably ca. 1940 or so and perhaps worth $200 more or less depending on location.

Hi all thanks for you the prompt responses.

The sticker looks like someone has penned 1937 onto it.

Im in the UK, in Kent.

Here are some more pics

Many in the south call them sideboards here Wullie !!  Farther north they turn into buffets !!

So is it worth anything or is £30 my best bet?  If its only worth that much then maybe ill just offer it to the British heart foundation

Thanks

I am further north and they are still sideboards. We also call some of them buffets and servers but I am not sure what the distinction is. I posted a Stickley one a while back. Did I call it a sideboard or a server or a buffet? Hmmmm. It was small and had no top so it was probably a server. Call them all bars and that works for me.
