View 4, Oak Sideboard Detail

The sideboard with its painted panels of fruit, inset decorative tiles, mirrors and carved panels is a typical period piece. This style of furniture was recommended by Charles Eastlake in his book "Hints on Household Taste" published in 1867.

The sideboard may be by Bruce Talbert who designed the chairs with their neat turned spindles. There is a similar detail in the front panel of the sideboard.
