Description
A large carved oak sideboard constructed in the Jacobean Revival style. The piece features a deep, projecting cornice with a foliate-carved frieze and a central medallion depicting a group of three figures. Below the cornice, two open compartments are supported by three barley-twist columns. The main body consists of two central recessed arched panels, each containing relief carvings of stylized pomegranates, flowers, and vines. These panels are flanked by three caryatid-style pilasters depicting figures in period dress, including one female figure in a ruff and two male figures. The base is decorated with a repeating circular pattern and terminated by a heavy molded plinth. Construction is of dark-stained solid oak planks with visible mortise and tenon joinery. Centrally located on the upper section is an incised shield-shaped cartouche. It features an incised date and initials arranged in two rows: the top row reads 1664 and the bottom row contains the letters W M H.
