British Colonial Mahogany Sideboard
Mid 19th centuryA very decorative antique British colonial sideboard made of mahogany. The sideboard has two carved doors between two spirally turned pillars. The panels of the doors are carved with a sunburst radiating from an oval disc at centre and open to reveal an interior with 2 shelves. The cabinet stands on a carved base supported on four paw feet. The sunburst or “Surajmukhi” is a typical motif of the state of Gujarat signifying prosperity.
The sideboard is in good condition and has been lovingly restored and finished to its former glory using a traditional form of French polishing and waxing. The mahogany has a rich warm shade with a striking grain.
