A Hepplewhite manner server. Having the form and proportions of a sideboard but of much smaller size. Stringing, banding, fan inlay and figured drawer fronts grace the elegant, minimalist shape. Would serve nicely in a small dining space or handsomely in any space as an occasional, writing or dressing table. With mahogany and satinwood veneer over nicely oxidized striped pine (not to mention shape and proportion), we lean toward an English, late George III period attribution - early 19th century. Good, serviceable condition with minor veneer losses and later pulls. Height, 31 1/4 inches. Length, 42 1/2 inches. Depth, 15 1/2 inches.

An appointment would be necessary to inspect this server
