French Provincial Empire style fruitwood sideboard, late 19th c., having rectangular top, over three drawers, above four cabinet doors and columnar supports, revealing shelved interior, rising on rounded feet, small split with fill repair to top, approx 39.25"h, 76.75"w, 25"d

07.09.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 4096: I note that the sideboard is presently intact and structurally sturdy, there are multiple splits along the top panel with filled repair, most of them being minor, a larger filled split located along the central plane of one side, there is evidence of old woodworm, most spots of which have been filled, the drawers currently open smoothly, with patination/ oxidation of metal escutcheons, the base of the columns at either end both have visible glue reinforcements to splits, and there is typical surface wear concentrated along the edges and top paneling such as minor abrasions and chips commensurate with age, use, and provincial origin
